This is very powerful. You are a talented writer.

Maybe you weren't speaking the words, but they rang through my ears. I am hearing you loud and clear.

We are to scream with our mouths shut so that they may not hear the words. But we find other ways to let them out.

Someday the lock on your lips will fall away and we will all be free.

i know that pain and those questions keep writing,, selfish and evil come to mind,, I just wish I knew how to get you to a healing place my caring and support will be here very poignant way to say it ,, take good care hugs teacher

Beautiful, well expressed

Thank you so much guys its been a while since I have written I'm glad I have a place to share and be heard and understood it means more than you know

I definitely agree that youre an incrdible writer. We dont always have to speak to get our pain across to others. The traumatic memories and the emotions experienced definitely came through loud and clear. As you witnessed a lot of us are identifying with your words so thanks for sharing your gift of riting.

Thank you tyzz your kind words are appreciated

Thank you for the hugs xa1nbowxr

Hopeful, one time my father got mad and was standing in front of me like a drill sergeant and was yelling at me, and he slapped me on my ear. I had to stand there quietly or it would have been worse. I thought something in my mind though. In my mind I said to him "you can touch my body, but you cannot touch my soul". Nobody can steal your soul. A soul can be tortured, but not taken. It can be given but not taken. Your soul is yours, no matter what happens to your body. You are not cursed, even if you were cursed. A curse can be nulled, voided, cancelled, in Jesus' Name, and I hereby do cancel, null and void any and all curses put upon you, through the Blood of Jesus. Hopeful, be blessed. Accept this blessing, in Jesus' Name.

and maybe none of you believe in Jesus, so then just let this go by and don't naysay it.

amen

Thank you xa1nbowxr that means a lot,and it made me cry .. So often do we forget the soul is,ours and so often do I forget to ask the Lord but in his name one say I will be healed in his name my soul will be saved and I think you for reminding me of this .. In Jesus name I pray
Amen

Amen

hugs

I'm posting for you. otherwise I'd still be silent

peace, sister

hello Hopeless,
You are very much in my thoughts.I do not know how to convince you to reach out for help and stop the abuse which still continues with your family members.
Do not let yourself drown,sweetie.There are social workers on the campus who can hear you;
You do not have to sacrifice yourself for your family.
Do not be afraid of the consequences of speaking out;you will gain freedom ,hope and peace for yourself and next generations to come .

You said,it I'm afraid of the consequences .. What it will be for me, my mom, my little brother the innocent people in the situation .. I will destroy my family and everyone around me will hate me :( I fear they will rebel and hurt me

I agree with moonface...by the way, it Is good to see you still here contributing to the group moonface!

well, yes, it's going to disturb the unhealthy routine and some people are going to be uncomfortable with having things disturbed, and some people will be angry. It's like the old expression, setting a fire under somebodiy's chair to get them to move. So you would prefer the present sickness than to rock the boat?
