Rarely do I talk of the past, the private and personal. There are many others who have been here. Maybe my words will help to sooth someone’s pain and agony. If it helps just one…
As a child, I was afraid of everything and everyone. Being ripped away from the family at a very young age and placed in an orphanage caused serious problems.
Had I been able to stay in the orphanage it may not have been so bad. Only that didn’t happen. I was farmed out to a foster family and life became worse.
A few years later I was returned to the family, only it was too late.
The fear had turned into a nightmare. I’m not able to talk about the horror that took place during those years but…
It destroyed my life.
Fear controlled me for years, until I realized I needed professional help. It wasn’t easy. Never have I worked so hard. Eventually, I climbed out of the abyss into the light. Still, it was a gradual process before I was fully bathed in the change.
Today I am self-assured and confident. There is no fear. There isn’t much that bothers me except heart pain. Life is beautiful, life is wonderful, as I pray…
