Thank you for reaching out!
Nothing makes me happier than when I can help someone!!!
I will always be available if you ever need to talk!!!!!!
You aren't alone, please remember that.
You are already as brave if not more so than I sweetie.
It takes soooo much bravery to just keep "trekking" or fighting in this life. You have made it through so much, nothing will stop you from defeating any other trial that comes your way.
You are stronger than you know.
God bless you sweetgirl, keep trekking, you'll make it

Thank you for sharing your testimony Natania. Overcoming abuse in any shape or form takes great courage. I too was violated at a very young age. Sexually, physically, and mentally. I don't share my story with many but at the same time share it openly when the Spirit urges me to do so (isn't it funny how we can recognize it in others - we recognize our own).
I find myself getting a little emotional right now. Sometimes I can share and be very matter-of-fact other times I feel that lump forming in my throat knowing that sharing this time won't be so easy. My earliest memory of sexual abuse was at around 5. My biological father placed me on my grandfather's lap and watched as he began to french kiss me. As I struggled, he just watched. When my grandfather decided he was done violating my mouth, he asked if I liked it. That is as far as that particular memory will allow me to remember but I do know this was the catalyst of innocence lost. There are several gaps in the memory of my young life that I feel God has sealed to protect my psyche and my heart. As tragic as the instances that I recall were, it was through them and through the power of God's love and grace that I am the thankful, the tear stained, the war-torned, the survivor, the overcomer, the victor, the humbled, the woman I am today.
God bless you dear sister for sharing your story. May your testimony and voice continue to be the healing and hope to those suffering in silence and your victory be the confirming witness and reminder to those who have overcome! (((hugs))) from one survivor to another.

Survivor- Not victims, nor any of the words some may choose to call us.
I completely understand, I was in tears writing this testimony. It is painful to bring it up every single time; But I also know that in order to not be a victim and to be a Victor you can't live the life of a Vicitim.
Things like this are never easy to go through and leave lasting impacts; but if you let the people who do awful things to you win and get the best of you then you are a victim.
Like your father and grandfather- My father was not a very fathering type, I won't bore you with the details of him but true strength of an overcomer comes from rising above those people and situations; and looking foward to see the wonderful plan God has for you; not back to see what evil the world has troubled you with

Well said Natania <3 When reading your testimony and while reading through these threads, I did not realize how young you were. May I just say that you exude a wisdom and grace beyond your years. May God continue to be magnified through your example of strength and courage. It is a beautiful thing to come to a place of acceptance and forgiveness and a much more beautiful view when we rise above. Blessings and Joy to you always. (((more hugs)))
