think I've finally figured this out..

hello I'm emily, a christian all my life. I grew up with a mother that didn't believe, but I held on to my faith and that's the way it's going to stay

I was abused by her as a child, and thankfully I am out of that situation. I do still have many physical and emotional scars I live with daily, but you can't have an abusive childhood and get off lightly

I recently started going to church again, after my old pastor passed away from covid. I managed to find a new one, and it's actually all women so it's very nice. there are a lot of nice people there and new people come often

Jesus is Our Healer ... of all the abuses and injustices we encounter in this life ... and so you are definitely on the right path!

Welcome to CF!

thanks.

Due to circumstances in my mum's family and a slight condition I have and a bad religious movement in my earlier neighbourhood, I was protected from dangers in the wrong way leaving me unequipped for different dangers.

Welcome Emily. Your not alone. I experienced child abuse at age 4/5. I was friend with girl down the street. One day, her dad falsely accused me of incident. I was innocent. He took off belt and beat me all over my body for 5 minutes. I never went back. I was 4 years old at the time. Proverbs 17:26. Also to punish the just is not good, Nor to strike princes for equity. I converted to christianity in 2000. I studied under pastor Arnold murray. He passed away in 2014. His son took over shepherds chapel. Peace.
