Stand By Me While I Pay It Forward
Was just going over the "insights" and stats on my Facebook page Visions Of Rainbows. Someone chose to give me a bad report by hiding all
posts from this page. I am sorry you
feel that way.
The storm has passed. See the rainbow?

| You are NOT alone. Quote by IAMicried Visions of Rainbows |
I started Visions of Rainbows and
telling my story of Child Sexual Abuse & Incest on 11-17-2012. I was at a point in my life where I needed to
make a change; advance to the next level in healing. Since then, I’ve expanded on social media
thru blogging, Facebook, Pinterest, and most recently Twitter. What I’m finding is that Survivors are
searching for encouragement. Someone to acknowledge their pain & suffering
with compassion. Someone to say, “Here I am! I have a story just like yours.
You are NOT alone. I’ll tell you my story. And when you are ready, I will
listen to your story.”
But there are still
people out there who don’t want to hear our stories. They want US and Child Sexual Abuse to be swept
under the rug; to go away. That is
exactly what happened today on Facebook. And that was exactly what was
happening in my home while I was growing up back in the early 60’s. The molestation was, sometimes, right out in
front of my siblings and my mother; Dad touching my breasts and making fun of
me. But did anyone do anything? No.
I find it difficult
continuing to reach out to Survivors with encouraging words of hope, faith, and
understanding; while at the same time, I’m being blocked and reported by
others. I’m beginning to wonder ..
- Do I want to keep blogging
- Is there another approach to take
- What is my next level in healing
I don’t know about
most young girls who were molested or raped by their fathers (or step-fathers)
but I don’t have many happy memories about growing up. My memories are painful
and humiliating at times. I have a
feeling deep inside that I should be reaching out to others. Each time that I “connect” with someone who
can relate, I feel my inner-child becoming filled with the love that was
missing. My inner-child is being embraced and acknowledged for the pain she
felt (and sometimes still feels).
So today, I have
conflicting emotions. I want to make a
difference in the life of another Survivor just like someone (V. you know who you
are) did in my life 3 yrs ago. Had I NOT
come across a Facebook post about CSA by V., I would not be where I am
today. We are told to “Pay It Forward”
and that is what I’m trying to do. I must keep pushing on the door that doesn’t
want to open if I am to heal and Survive from Child Sexual Abuse. One day soon, Child Sexual
Abuse will no longer be swept under the rug. I would like to be a part of that
revolution.
Can you relate to
MY story of incest and Child Sexual Abuse?
Do you have a
similar one?
Have I made a
difference with my blog and Facebook page?
Will you “Pay It
Forward” and reach out to me?
The storm has passed. See the rainbow?
It’s beautiful. Life is beautiful.
And you are beautiful too.
