You are not unreasonable. That is a horrible situation you describe. I hope you have a good counselor and therapy and support. Since this happened in a christian family I wander if you were able to find a spiritual family/church you can go to. I hope so, not because church brings salvation :) but company can help.

Ariel I am so sorry what happened to you. That never should have happened. Am glad you learned to look to God through it. As for the poster who mentioned rebellion well as a tiny child I was too scared to rebel but in my late teens I did. I rebelled against my fathers diktat that I shouldn't seek psychiatric help for my very real issues. I was dying from suicide attempts self harm and eating isssues. He didn't want me to seek help cos it would ruin his image and he said I was only faking. In spite of already being diagnosed. I know Bible says Honour your parents but we are also told to love ourselves and that means if we disobey a command to do something that will hurt us well it isn't sinful disobedience as far as I'm concerned.

And surely trying to deny a child their healthy sense of self love and self regard is a form of emotional child abuse? The experts say it is. I sometimes think many Christians homes are in danger of producing kids who feel no entitlement at all. No sense of their boundaries and right to say no to unreasonable or cruel demands. Jesus would have wanted that girl to be the Apple of. Her Parents Eyes. A little princess. Because all Gods daughters are

I understand. My father was a pastor and it seemed like he always had time for others, but not his family, although he did try. So I know how it feels.

It is unfortunate they did not see you as one who needed attention. Inner healing and deliverance ministries are few. I wish I could form the right words to make it all better. All I can say is that Jesus understands far better than I do and your pain is His concern.
