Yes He does. Interesting read. The loss of self-esteem is a heavy burden for any youngster to have to bear. Biographies are always interesting. Look forward to more.

Thanks for reviewing.
We each walk our own journey and the more difficult the
harder to share.
I have written and shared some of mine in the book I have almostt finished on this site titled---Walk with Me. I have used both prose and poetry and found the writing of part of my journey to bring peace, release and some resolution.
It has not had a final edit as yet.
Blessings

Hi Linda,
It is lovely to receive your kind review.
You have brought a ray of sunshine into my day.
So many secrets have brought pain, anguish and despair over many years
before some degree of resolution is achieved.
Best wishes to your sister.
Blessings
Shirley

Comment from Roxanna Andrews
I am so sorry to hear you suffered such abuse as a child. I cannot understand the mind of an abuser, how do they live with themselves?! I always want to take these people, chain them to the bumper of a pick up and drive around for several days. It is a just punishment. But I have to remember, "Vengeance is mine says the Lord" and I think he can do a better job of punishment then I can. Thank you for sharing, I know it can't be easy, but it may really help someone else.

Hi Roxanna,
I appreciate your generous review and empathy.
Abuse and neglect take many forms but each carves a scar in a body
and mind which never fully heal.
My writing has helped me and I hope will give my children clarity and not judgement one day.

The emotional scars were buried so deep inside my heart and mind I hid them even from myself. ~ this is something I've read about often since I came here. It is a problem most in your situation seem to suffer from and you can be so proud of yourself that you faced it bravely to overcome it.
There can be no doubt that through your faith and belief in Jesus ewalking with you all the way, you managed to find the strength and self-trust to accept the journey from the very beginning when you were a child, to this stage where you are sharing this with us here in FS.
May He continue to journey with you.

Thank you so much for a supportibve and empathetic review.
It has been a long journey for me and I still have a few more miles to go. The load is feeling lighter as I trust, share, believe and let go.
Jesus will be always in my heart.
Blessings

Comment from Pamusart
I can relate to your story. The worst thing that can happen to a child is to have her self esteem destroyed. It happened to you. It happened to me and several of my sisters. You are worthwhile. I think you are not giving yourself enough credit. Keep it up. Thank you for sharing
