I appreciate your honest detailing of your dad's behavior. I consider him selfish. I praise you and your siblings for surviving his ego-centric actions.
I admire that you spoke honestly to the EDS minister. I am glad he knew your value and let your comment stand. I admire that you found safer ways to share your lesson with your congregations.
I always hold on to a belief that the light of hope is there for us at all times.
I have known of the women leaders of which you wrote as I worked as a proofreader for an online spirituality network, I'll look up the name later.
This comment reflects my feelings about your last several pieces: I am moved by your openness , courage and ability to address the "big questions" with such honesty and humbleness and find your writing to be spiritually enriching. Thank you for sharing these deep reflections on your connection with God.
"The already worn spots in my brain are scraped raw as I stare at the piled-up wreckage of my past." That's the line that jumps out at me. Such a vivid and unexpected description of trauma retriggered.
Really moved by this, by the description of trauma and its re-enactment. I've been working this week on a post about how trauma can make us wise. This is such an example.
