Why Am I Writing This?

If you’re reading this, you may have questions like these.

  1. Why is she recounting all these bad memories?
  2. What’s the point of rehashing all this and making it public?
  3. Why doesn’t she attempt to make these descriptions more balanced?
  4. Why is she dishonoring her parents?

The answer to the first and second questions are pretty much the same. The point is – these things happened to me, and I was very hurt and damaged. It was many years and lots of therapy before I was functional after leaving home. Similar things may be happening to other children as we speak. I hope that Mothers and Fathers might read these and rethink their actions with their children, and make it a point to instruct them with love, not criticism and fear. Maybe if some Mother of Father realizes that they’ve been unintentionally treating their child(ren) the same way, they’ll stop.

As for the third question, these are my childhood memories. The memories of a hurting child may not be a balanced view, but they may still be helpful in bringing someone else to a balanced view, if they realize that they’re doing this to their own children.

Regarding the 4th question, the truth is the truth. I have not named my parents or myself, so no one can read this and connect this with my family unless they were there. If I was naming them with the intention of embarrassing and shaming them, then my motive could be considered dishonorable. As it is, I am speaking the truth with as little possibility of causing a backlash to them that I can manage, and I do not see any dishonor in this.

John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

  1. Such sad and frightening childhood memories. it is sad how many children miss out on what should be the most secure and happy time in their life.

  2. Fools, said I, you do not know
    Silence like a cancer grows… (Sound of Silence)

    There will be those who do not like what you’re saying, and their only response is to shame you or malign you.

  3. Children are the real victims of parents who join these kinds of churches. I feel my oldest still suffers.
