This is a very personal matter and i'm afraid it bothers me whenever it comes up. When i was really young (like a toddler) my father molested me and he stopped and the memory was blocked from my head. However I grew up with him being abuseful to my mother and me, and by the age of 12, he started molesting me again. By 14, me and my mom took our things and ran away and by age 16, I had confessed to what he did and he is now in prison....but just when i think these feelings of this sin has passed and I have learned to forgive, something comes up and I can't help to feel weak and pathetic.....I have never gotten therapy for this because I want to learn on my own, what I can do help myself. I have prayed to God about these buried issues I have, and he was kind enough to get me out of that environment but I'm still awaiting help for these memories, emotions and suppressed anger. Anything will probably help me this minute.

Give these feelings over to God, every single one of them!! Ask him to take this burden away from you, and he surely will. Your dad is in prison--he is paying for his sins, however you should not also have to pay for his sins. Jesus commands us to forgive others so that He may forgive us of our own sins. When you think about how Jesus forgave the ones who killed him, if he was able to do it, so are you. So are we all. :) It will be tough and painful, but I know you can do it. God bless you. :)
