I truly enjoyed your video. As I sat and listened to your story all I could think about is Joyce Meyers. Not really sure if you heard of her or not but she is a Christian author and speaker. Often on her telecast she would mention how she was abused for several years as a child by her father; not stepfather. Further, she would talk about how she was bitter, silent suffering, low self esteem, trust issues, healing process, and how it affected her life even into marriage. Thank God she married an awsome husband, etc… If you ever get a chance google her and learn more about her/story and how God is using her to help others just like you’re doing. I don’t know why certain things happen in life, but God makes no mistakes. Because of your voice and exposure you are helping to heal millions and millions of males and females. Keep the awareness alive. You are a beautiful person inside and out.
@Penny Cent, Thank you so much for writing. I have heard of Joyce Meyers. She is an incredible woman and helps so many. I think I even have a few of her books. I hope you have an amazing day!
