Thank you for sharing this story with us. No child should have to live that way. I would suggest not just turning to Jesus when the memories get too much but turn to Him all the time. I know he helps me.

Barbara,
Thank you for the wonderful review. I do have Jesus with me all the time and that's why I survived. Christmas is hard and then when I hit my knees the hardest. I have him buy my side and I'll be okay.

I am so sorry that you had to experience abuse from that vile piece of dirt.
You had mentioned in a review of my Christmas Poem that you didn't like Christmas as your Mother ruined it for you and now I know why.
So courageous of you to share your story I would imagine it's wasn't an easy decision. I am just picturing that 10 year old girl feeling violated, sore, scared, embarrassed and alone and it breaks my heart. You poor thing, I also feel so mad, towards that monster and never having support or relationship with your Mother, you have had it so difficult.
I'm so glad you did get to spend time making happy memories with your kids when they were small, if those happy memories could drown out the one that destroyed everything for you, I wish it could.
Take care of yourself, you are so brave. I wish you all the feelings of joy to come your way.
Best wishes friend,

Nicki,
Thank you for the wonderful review and the six beautiful stars. Yeah,
childhood sucked and when I met my first boyfriend he was abusive. After we broke up he wouldn't leave me alone, so I joined the Navy. That's a story for another day. I'm working on an autobiography. Writing helps me to get through the day. I have so many wonderful friends on here.
I appreciate you Nicki more than you know. Thank sweet friend
Cecilia xoxo

There's a great deal in your story that I can relate to. My father was a cruel man. He used very bad language and he had times when he would beat the children and he would be their mother. I usually avoided him and he very seldom beat me or tried to hit me, but I did not like him as a man. I did not like him as a person and when I was nine years old and I got saved, I thought his swearing was so awful and I thought to myself if I can't talk without using those words, then I will not talk. Even to this day when I accidentally slip up and use a curse word, it bothers me until I can confess to the Lord and ask him to forgive me. Patricia.

Patricia,
Thank you for the kind review. I guess back in the day it was okay to beat women and children. That's horrible. I wonder if our parents had any idea what that would do too us as we grew up. I must admit the sailor I was is still in me and swear occasionally. I can however, have conversations where there is no swearing. I'm glad you don't.

Comment from Bill Schott
This story, Christmas Woes, all seem to be related to the dismissive mother and the abusive rapist. So wrong on everyone's part to not support and defend you.

Oh my Dear Girl, I'm so sorry, this all had to happen, ((HUGS)) ((HUGS)) I know how those memories won't leave. Mine come back once in a great while; I was 18 when things happened to me. The stars I gave you can't take the memories away, but I hope they at least gave you a smile. Take Care Friend!

Thank you for the great review. I have manage best when it's not the holidays and I can normally push them deep inside. Nobody ever said life was easy. I appreciate the six stars and it did bring a smile to my face. Just like your hamster stories. Thank you my sweet friend.
