I have been on Pointswithpurpose.com for about three years and site administrator for a year. I've experienced different forms of sexual abuse for most of my life and it still never feels any better to hear the awful stories still happening today! Where does the helper go to get help? I guess I need to go to my peers like they come to me. Recently I spoke to a member who has a very similar story to me and my children and boy did it ever trigger me...my heart is breaking for this young girl and worst of all she is suicidal. I'm too far away to help her and even if I could be there I know that she is going through a worse nightmare scenerio right not that I can't fix given the police and child protective services are sooooo flawed.
I love my job on PWP and the rewards are endless...I would never wish to lose my supports or my job on PWP ever. I am however experiencing some rehashing of past trauma personally because if Children's Aid Society, access visits and the courts being delayed. I can only imagine how my daughter is feeling....
I just need to scream or at least cry my heart out because the pain the children on this site (adults too) go through is so immense for their beautiful spirits to take....Oh I pray that you will all join me in prayer (those who believe in God and those who don't) and ask for a breakthrough in the lives of all those who come in contact with Points With Purpose....and especially for our PWP children who come here for help....I pray they are rescued from the pain we have all experienced and that their journey to healing is a smooth one. I pray they have the support some of us never had and that they will be believed. I pray that we as a group of survivors and supporters can provide a safe place for them to come. I pray that sexual abuse victims across our nation, our world will come together to change laws and break the un-balanced scales of justice so that victims will finally be heard. I pray for you! For me! for Us! I ask you God to come and be with each one of us in times of torment and pain to bring comfort....
I love you all survivors! (((hugs)))
