What a great blessing God has given you to be able to look these things full in the eye and name them - a victim no longer.BajaMannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08874805186467347954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801517556954327024.post-49313232158119932022013-02-04T08:31:15.828-05:002013-02-04T08:31:15.828-05:00Wow Manny that must have been so hard, for him and...Wow Manny that must have been so hard, for him and your family! And what a beautiful prayer! <br />I do think it helps when we are aware of such things and do our best to make reparation and amend ourselves. And, of course, pray, pray, pray!<br />Thanks for your kind words.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847572866285311259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801517556954327024.post-84989452445960974542013-02-04T08:27:20.726-05:002013-02-04T08:27:20.726-05:00Aw, thank you so much honey.

The part that's relevant goes like this:<br /><br />"Lord, let me realize the hurt that is in all people,<br />especially the hurt that was in my father,<br />and the hurt that is passed on from generation to generation <br />since the beginning of time.<br />Lord, let me realize the hurt that I may cause."<br /><br />I mention my father in there because he went completely blind in mid life, and he had a lot of hurt in his soul that he really never got over. And as I pondered my father's hurt and resentment with life and God I realized there was a chain of hurt that we all take in and pass on. Your parent's hurt was passed on. We have to break that chain. I end my prayer with "Lord, take in all this hurt into your sacred heart. Heal us with your touch." May God give you peace Kelly.Mannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15396201693030286919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801517556954327024.post-39760441303264098022013-02-03T13:27:31.668-05:002013-02-03T13:27:31.668-05:00I agree with Joyce that you are very brave for pub...I agree with Joyce that you are very brave for publicly confronting and talking about all of this, Ma. I know how hard some of these kind of things can be. I can honestly say that you definitely give hope to me with dealing with my own issues with the same man. I love you and have such respect for your strength and courage :) <3 Corrie McCoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17656406045353805585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801517556954327024.post-80838450560635426462013-02-03T12:07:02.323-05:002013-02-03T12:07:02.323-05:00You are exactly right, Joyce!

I pray it gives hope to others that might be trying to shed some light on their own struggles.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847572866285311259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801517556954327024.post-33253034824753915212013-02-03T09:34:04.411-05:002013-02-03T09:34:04.411-05:00You're very brave for publicly confronting the...You're very brave for publicly confronting these issues Kelly. Keep in mind one thing, however: sometimes, little or no guidance is better than guidance in the wrong direction. Thank God for giving you the grace to see your way through the mire, even though wounds were inflicted in the process. The cross you endured growing up has borne fruit for your children. You're a totally committed mom who has provided a peaceful and loving home for them, something you were not permitted to have due to family circumstances. God bless.
