Thank you, all of you, for your help on xmas
Edited on Mon Jan-16-06 09:01 PM by oxbow
On xmas day, I came here in some serious trouble and asked for light from you guys. Your prayers and positive energy really helped me through the hardest period I've ever had to live through, so I'm here to thank you now.

It turns out that the problem was that I's been molested as a child by a family member. I had repressed it though, and thought that God was going to punish me if I ever told (I grew up in a fundamentalist muslim society, and was very young when this happened). The guilt I felt resulted in both my sickness and emotional problems of late. I've spent the last few weeks trying to heal. It's hard because after 22 years of repression and the last 2 months of living hell, there's a lot of stuff to heal. All kinds of barriers and protectors of the secret that I thought was my fault.

I'm really worn out now though, guys. I don't have any more strength to stand, let alone keep this up. If anybody out there is able, can you send me a little energy and/or blessings to get me through the night? Thank you again from the bottom of my heart and I hope to return the favor someday soon.

2. I'm so sorry for what you're going through, oxbow.
I ask that the Universe give you the strength and peace that you need to get through this situation and to come out of it a stronger & even better person. (This or something better for the highest good of all involved.)

Most importantly, please, please do not feel that you are alone. :grouphug:

3. Sending good energy your way.
I'm sorry you are facing this, but I have faith that you will come out of this stronger and in better health. Somehow none of us are ever presented with a greater load than we can carry--even if we do doubt that at times.

Please know you are not alone and that someone cares.

Hugs to you.

4. Oh oxbow, I am so sorry someone did this to you as a child,
and now you are dealing with the trauma and aftermath. Please know that many of us are holding you close in our thoughts and hearts tonight.

I am asking God to surround you with His oh-so loving arms, and reassure you that He is there for you. He loves you and me while we are broken, and long for healing and hope. He gives us all of that and more. I am also asking God to provide angels to protect you. I am praying for you, and will continue to pray for you. I ask that God will heal your mind, body, heart, and spirit.

I do SO hope you know, that God is never going to punish you for what happened to you. He loves you more than you can imagine, and wants you to realize that. I know what you are going through now must be hard and difficult and painful, but He is there through all of that, wanting to heal your deepest hurts and fears. He wants you to be whole and healthy. He wants to be your strength now, especially when you feel that you don't have any more resources within, to draw upon.

I ask God's richest blessings upon you today, tomorrow, and each day in your future. Please know that you are loved, just as you are.

Sending you LOTS of these! :hug: :grouphug: :hug: :grouphug: :hug: :grouphug: :hug: :grouphug: :hug: :grouphug: :hug: :grouphug:

Come here whenever you feel like it. We're here for you.

6. Love and Light being sent to you, oxbow, in your
time of great burden.

Know that you are not alone in your pain, and that so many of us have had to face similar awakenings. My lesson learned is that what you deny can kill you, while what you acknowledge and face and feel can only strengthen you in time.

:hug: :hug: :hug:

7. Blessings to you
None of what happened to you as a child was your fault. It is completely the fault of the assailant.

You coped as best you could as a child.

Now you are coping in a different way and working to heal yourself. Doing so is a tremendous act of courage. It takes real courage to confront such an awful past experience and to begin working to overcome its effects and move beyond them to wholeness.

I admire you for your courage and strength.

10. I don't have words to express my gratitude to you all
Edited on Wed Jan-18-06 08:54 PM by oxbow
Just to see you guys that have never even met me showing all this compassion and love for me is such a blessing right now. God sends us here and we get so hurt and we support each other through it all. As mad as I am right now, this thought is still enough to melt my heart. I don't know why these kinds of things happen to innocent children, but I have to deal with it now that I know the truth. I am an adult, and it's my job to take care of that little child that got hurt.

I'm doing a little better at the moment, thanks to you and my other friends. My ego is still in self destruct mode and my emotional self stopped growing around the time that this all happenned, so it's pretty stunted.
I'm just trying to spend a lot of time in my body, because my body knows what the truth is. The rest of me may be hysterical, but atleast for now, my body is calm. Even though its in pain, its weird how calm my body is rght now.

I'll check back in later guys. Until then, God bless and take care.
