I was bullied throughout my whole childhood in school, high school, from male teachers, and fellow students, also bullied from boys in the Baptist Church "Boys Brigade", and bullied by my mother who also physically abused me as well sexually.
I just ran from the abuse, because I was not capable to stand up against these guys who were bigger than myself. So I just suffered it, using my imagination to hide in, and eventually did not finish high school after I failed my 11th year. And I am glad I did!
When I was 17 I actually fought back against my mother beating me for over cooking the Pork chops for dinner. I kicked her as she was going to punch me in my face, and shouted at her, she was NEVER going to hit me again! I ran out of the apartment, and then moved in with my father, until I turned 18, then ran away from my family to live my life without their abuses, and controlling!
I learned how to stand up against those who feel they can transgress against me, without being physical. Being firm, standing my ground as the Lord has taught me, without bitterness, yet forgiving them.
What a terrible example and testimony some so called “Christian” ministries can give to the world.
When it’s your own mother that’s a whole different story. That’s the person in this world that’s supposed to shelter and care for you and nourish you. When that kind of thing happens, it presents challenges that for many take a lifetime to overcome. God bless you my friend for enduring that and rising above it
Not to mention the abuse at the hands of your male counterparts in school. You overcame it with a lot of work I’m sure and I’m so happy you did! I’m sure you’re making the world a better place by helping people like yourself that were abused.
Yes, I give the glory to the Lord for without Him I could not face all the scares left from the molestation, physical, emotional abuse from mother, and male friend of my parents starting at a very, very young age.
What I suffered in my life I’m now writing a series on my life on Substack titled “Manically Speaking”. I’m working on my Part 3, and almost finished. It is surprising how many have been abused for years, all behind close doors.
Thank you for sharing your experiences, we can ALL assist other’s to face the traumas they have experienced in their lives and to know they are not alone.
