• 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.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

A Child's Game


A child's game of hide and seek
So innocent and free
I was meek
Didn't understand what he wanted from me


We were hiding in a tree
Waiting to be found
I didn't even see
When he made my hand go down


He made me touch him
Where I was told was bad
He made me do stuff to him
I felt kinda sad


After the game was done
He made me lay down in tall grass
He told me we were gonna have fun
I was wondering how long it would last


He touched me all over
He never missed a spot
I laid there, wishing it was over
But I never once fought


He got on top of me
It hurt so bad
I couldn't see
I was scared and very very sad


When it was done
He told me never to tell
He asked if it was fun
I said yes, but it was really hell


I never told a soul
until much much later
I will never be the same
Not now, not forever

In agreement. I lift you to the comfort of Jesus' lap, to His wiping of every tear; each tear He held on the cross, knowing abuse like no other.

You know, I once was soooo frustrated, I was crying out to God and I said,"Lord, You promised that You understood and cradled us in our pain and trials. How could You have let these things happen to my husband? HIS pain, You don't know! I was so broken by the horrible way that My husband was treating me, all the time, because of the emotional pain he was in...(still does, much less intense).

I flipped open my bible as almost a challenge...like, "Just try and comfort me this time! "....and there before my eyes lay this:
[font=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]The New American Standard Bible [/font]
spacer.gif
[font=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]Matthew 27 [/font][font=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole Roman cohort F592 around Him.They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him. And after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand; and they knelt down before Him and mocked Him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" They spat on Him, and took the reed and began to beat Him on the head ~vs.27-30[/font]

True story.

You have been made like unto Jesus in a very special way, dear one. There is ministry in it for you...believe it or not. Like a phoenix from the ashes, came a powerful and honest poet...a voice. Bless YOU!

This is very powerful writing you do indeed have a talent. This touched at my heart strings for reasons I don't want to go into.
