[quote=Anonymous]OP, let's be friends. I completely understand. Yes, I grew up with a drug-addicted, abusive mother. I don't love her. I feel sorry for her, but love, no. She is difficult to even like. Recently, and within the confines of a church support group, I shared very briefly about my sad childhood. It was pertinent to the topic and helpful to another member who had a similar experience. I felt relieved to have talked about something that is typically so difficult for me to mention, but after the next gathering, the leader told me that I should specifically pray to ease these memories away. I thought this was dismissive and took it to mean th at I shouldn't mention such things again. Perhaps I was wrong to assume this but I felt ashamed that I'd once again tried to be open and honest and...I misjudged my audience. I quit immediately. People just don't understand the depths of abuse, of sorrow, of neglect. [/quote]
