Emotional Cutting

I pierce my heart with horrific thoughts of an unfathomable and unimaginable child abuse that has never left me. I sever my soul into pieces going over every detail of the relentless insults and beatings from my father and that violent boyfriend. I gouge my mind with the most profound regret of all in that, I didn’t spend enough time with my mother and beloved brother, Jimmy before I lost them. I curse myself for not making it known to my mother And brother how much I loved and needed them which was more than I could ever say. The heaviest burden engraved on my being is for the loss of my protector and advisor in a dearest older brother which I will forever miss. I am also aware and ashamed of the deeply painful Look in my Son’s eyes for having to cope with a mother like me. Lastly, I beg Oh, Dear God please rescue and release me from this deep sorrow and regret that torments me so the emotional cutting is finally brought to an end.

This is so personal and emotional. Sincerely give life to Jesus, get born again. Only Jesus can heal you totally. Seek out JOYCE MEYER she is a preacher, who suffered a similar fate but is doing well. It is well with you.

Love Jesus. You are now surrounded by angels. Go... like the man with the bed. (pick it up and walk). Go to the sea of forgetfulness. Cast all ugly things into the deep. There is a dark thing that pulls them down and keeps them there. We will not talk of it. Do not look back. Feel the burden slowly lifted. You are accepted, and made whole, by his blood. Nothing more can ever hurt you. Hold onto that and when your son peers into your eyes, he will smile back at you... happy. Hugs. Ann
