• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

When I was kidnapped I was abused even more on Sundays. It was ritual abuse and very evil. I was unable to go to church and at times they would take me to a church but then they would force me to go to the bathroom and abuse me there during the service. I am still scarred by this and I realize more and more I was badly ritually abused. I feel I should be insane now because of how badly I was abused. They had no compassion and made it about abusing me because I was Christian. They were the ones who made me Christian. I was pagan before. They made me Christian so they could further abuse me. It is difficult because now that I am Christian, they are the ones who made me Christian and they were very evil. They said they are becoming Christian too and that it was their last ritual abuse. But I feel that they are lying. I do not believe they will become Christian and I believe they will abuse others.

Interesting. I had a boss for a couple of years who always deliberately made sure that Sunday was busier and harder working for me than any other day of the week. I laughed at his religious spirit, be it against the Christian, because no day needs to be elevated above any other for the follower of Christ.

That horrible experience will have somewhat distorted and tainted your experiences of church and being a Christian. Do yo have anyone suitable you can address your abuse with?

I think it really did distort and taint my experience of church and being a Christian. I have counseling sometimes with my Pastor but mostly I talk here about my abuse and that helps me alot.

Good. However, very few pastors have the time, skills or knowledge to adequately deal with serious abuse issues. Some more experienced support, if that is possible, could be life changing.

Indeed. They do not cover topics like that in "preacher school."
