Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Dear Rhonda It sounds like you have been through some very very hard times both physcially and emotionally. I can see how you could be very demoralized at this point, however I sense a strong uncrushable spirit within you! I am so sorry for all that has happened to you and I will say a prayer for guidance and direction in your life. I know you feel defeated now, but I like to remember the saying that it is always darkest before the dawn. How can we help and support you? Let us know. We will try to be here for you in any way we can. Blessings, kathy > Dear , > > I agree and I hope Patty knows she is one of those angels I referred.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Thank you Patty, yes, he had paranoid scysophrenia, however you spell it. At the time I would have been afraid to even raise my head if a man walked by. The residual effects have bad me untrustworthy of men. Thus, explains some of my reactions previously...I choose not to be in a relationship at the present time, and since I got sick for several reasons. Mostly because of my Godly lifestyle and higher expectations. I am very happily single and spend all my day focusing on God and going to church functions.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 , the boyfriend at the time that I was with (the bodybuilder) that I dated for almost 7 years ,was very abusive. When I began dating him, My mother had just got out of a really bad divorce, and right after ,I had to move in with my new step dad and her in their new marriage. I was in the middle of high school , had moved about 2 hours from all my family and childhood friends, and it was a very sorrowful time. That’s where Tom came in. While my mother was almost like a newlywed, I felt very out of place. I always felt like I lived in a hotel with the two of them. It was a very bad time in my life. I was really confused for years. And mad. He was the one that got me, at the age of 19 to almost anorexia, and also to then think seriously think that I was too flat chested and I needed implants. I still say I was like a project for him, to mold me and control me to his perfect image. And I didn’t care, I just needed someone that paid attention to me and loved me. Silly fool. I have never played the part of the victim, but I really got some serious messed up notions from him those during those vital years. I was in the beginning mentally messed with by him, and later in the end physically. Badly. When we broke up and I met my hubby , whom I was dating and didn’t even want to be dating, ha ha but that Joe was so intent with me! He always says with a laugh, he got me at a weak moment, that’s how he lucked out. "HA ha!" I say. Anyway- my ex stalked the both of us for almost a year and a half. For Joe to stick it out, I knew he was a keeper. It was scary, because around the time of the breakup, Simpson had just been murdered and being stalked was a scary, very real thing. It was all over the media. I will never get over, one night he broke in, and wrote in all my poetry books, all this stuff that did not make sense. It was frightening. When I look back, it was amazing how broken I was. And how many years I spent being a broken girl. And now, its like I am not the same person. God really heals things , sometimes putting them into a beautiful transformation,...like all the sudden a stunning butterfly comes out of complete darkness. Perfect, with amazing colors from all his work. My heart goes out to you, so much so, I had to share this very private topic to me. I know, it is hard. To me, it makes us stronger, but heck, who wants to learn that way! I admire you girl,.Love, Re: Ilena, angels, life story and ruptured silicone implants Thank you Patty, yes, he had paranoid scysophrenia, however you spell it. At the time I would have been afraid to even raise my head if a man walked by. The residual effects have bad me untrustworthy of men.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Seems at some point we all have a little bit in common having faced a sense of fighting that " victism " I know I have fought it more than once. Being younger and not knowing the risks at the time... I trusted what I was told and I got some mixed up notions too, I like the way you put that , well put. Your story inspired me and reminded me what really pulled me through thank you. Deformed breasts caused me to starve myself and gain my way up trying to make them flat and normal or at least fill a bra and then surgery. For 20 some years I had no idea why I could not hold a job over 2 years, have my babies or hold onto my marriage, etc. I thought all women were that sick, no kidding, I really did. I just kept plugging away at work with no family life and now suffer a lonely life, but I kept that insurance all my life, and at 45 by month's end lose my prescription coverage unless I mail the October payment of 391.00 and the november ck for 391.00 The fight goes on. Surviving the recent marriage and abuse came from strength gained as I greww in my personal relationship with God. Each incident seemed to be an effort to make me be more dependent on a controlling person that I was afraid of yet I directed myself to faith instead. Whatever problems were involved I cannot say. I stayed until I had to go and then I left and stayed away. Things were necessary for me to have the strength in my heart to get through it all. My turning point came when I laid my hands on my husband and prayed for him then I followed my heart and I confessed to him it is the glory of God that heals. (forgiveness) In order for me to do massage therapy or prayer I let go and asked for forgiveness in a way I never had before with the understanding it is ok and that God knows we are not perfect, He did not make us that way and that we are so loved when we come to Him in this way that He will protect us through thick and thin. Being a little older now and not having worked for over 4 years I am at this very scary point of being unsure of myself and the facts look pretty bad. I need to do something, but don't know what! Kacey thank you for your email, I am thinking about it, do you have any ideas? I started to tell you three times today, I scanned your PParade article for you, that was so great~! WOW, I have typed a novel, so sorry, hugs and you blessed my heart so much the other night that I will never forget it, you are so special and so supposed to be here with your gifts and wonderful kindness. Thank you for sharing your story and while not much of what some of us have experienced is pleasant I remain hopeful for some way positive outcome, just like Kacey's article today, changing people's lives, that is awesome! M, I love you like a sis, R > I'm sure we can support each other as I have suffered from many of the things you mentioned, specifically a boyfriend that through me down over and over again all night landing on top of me, in a jealous rage.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Thank you Rhonda and , I know we all share something, the stalking, abuse and traumatic stress. And it does take time to heal. I've been very traumatized by men and have personal issues to work out before I could be good to a man. Most people who know me don't think I'm ready to be in a relationship. Rhoda, I am very concerned for you and we all need to pray for your resolution of basic needs. I hope something good turns up for you. Maybe moving to Atlanta closer to your drs. I will call you again soon. , I do beleave God turns us into something special after we come out of this. I'm not sure he will completely heal me, it may not be His will. He has me so trusting on Him now that I think this is where He wants me for awhile. But, He is giving me back things slowly, love of my daughters, health in many respects, and a devotion for Him and want to be absorbed in an ever deeper search for Him. I don't ever want to be so healed to take for grantit that I need God daily, minute by minute. If it means I need to remain in this humbled state, then I am content. My biggest prayer would be Lord may my fire for you never go out, may I want to serve you more and more each day. I beleive Healing can only come when we are completely dependent on Him. "Seek yea first the Kingdom of Heaven and all else will be given unto you" I believe if I can eat like it says in the Bible, just like Patty said, from , and I believe in the Food Laws from Lev. 11 and Duet. 14. I also keep the Sabbath Day Holy. If I am to remain with arthritis, not color my hair, continue to wear my dresses long to church, I'd would rather stay ill to continue being fervent for the Lord. In God's time He will heal me, and things will return to me. Even in hard times I have Peace that surpasses all understanding. My hunger for Jesus never leaves me idle. That's why I celebrate my singleness, because I can spend many hours with Jesus and studying His word. That's where the abuse and the illness has taken me. I am grateful for the food God supplies. I went to the market with a certain amount of money but in my cart I knew there was more. I was ready to take out certain items when the check out lady said the price, but, Glory to God, I had enough and didn't have to put anything back. Whatever, you do Rhonda, ask God for His Will, and do everything for the Glory of God. I am convienced its the only way. Maybe you can contact a church where you'd like to locate, or in your community there. I hope God opens doors for you. God Bless you. Take Care and Rhonda, I hope we can continue lifting each other up. It will get better Rhonda, you've come along way so far getting away from your abusive husband. That was an excellent choice. Ask God to lead you in your decisions and your life will improve. I hope you are comforted in some small way knowing that someone has prayed for you today.

We have so much in common. Miracles by God, I tell you. Re: Re: Ilena, angels, life story and ruptured silicone implants Thank you Rhonda and , I know we all share something, the stalking, abuse and traumatic stress. And it does take time to heal. I've been very traumatized by men and have personal issues to work out before I could be good to a man. Most people who know me don't think I'm ready to be in a relationship. Rhoda, I am very concerned for you and we all need to pray for your resolution of basic needs. I hope something good turns up for you. Maybe moving to Atlanta closer to your drs. I will call you again soon. , I do beleave God turns us into something special after we come out of this. I'm not sure he will completely heal me, it may not be His will. He has me so trusting on Him now that I think this is where He wants me for awhile. But, He is giving me back things slowly, love of my daughters, health in many respects, and a devotion for Him and want to be absorbed in an ever deeper search for Him. I don't ever want to be so healed to take for grantit that I need God daily, minute by minute. If it means I need to remain in this humbled state, then I am content. My biggest prayer would be Lord may my fire for you never go out, may I want to serve you more and more each day. I beleive Healing can only come when we are completely dependent on Him. "Seek yea first the Kingdom of Heaven and all else will be given unto you" I believe if I can eat like it says in the Bible, just like Patty said, from , and I believe in the Food Laws from Lev. 11 and Duet. 14. I also keep the Sabbath Day Holy. If I am to remain with arthritis, not color my hair, continue to wear my dresses long to church, I'd would rather stay ill to continue being fervent for the Lord. In God's time He will heal me, and things will return to me. Even in hard times I have Peace that surpasses all understanding. My hunger for Jesus never leaves me idle. That's why I celebrate my singleness, because I can spend many hours with Jesus and studying His word. That's where the abuse and the illness has taken me. I am grateful for the food God supplies. I went to the market with a certain amount of money but in my cart I knew there was more. I was ready to take out certain items when the check out lady said the price, but, Glory to God, I had enough and didn't have to put anything back. Whatever, you do Rhonda, ask God for His Will, and do everything for the Glory of God. I am convienced its the only way. Maybe you can contact a church where you'd like to locate, or in your community there. I hope God opens doors for you. God Bless you. Take Care and Rhonda, I hope we can continue lifting each other up. It will get better Rhonda, you've come along way so far getting away from your abusive husband. That was an excellent choice. Ask God to lead you in your decisions and your life will improve. I hope you are comforted in some small way knowing that someone has prayed for you today.

Being younger and not knowing the risks at the time... I trusted what I was told and I got some mixed up notions too, I like the way you put that , well put. Your story inspired me and reminded me what really pulled me through thank you.Deformed breasts caused me to starve myself and gain my way up trying to make them flat and normal or at least fill a bra and then surgery. For 20 some years I had no idea why I could not hold a job over 2 years, have my babies or hold onto my marriage, etc.I thought all women were that sick, no kidding, I really did. I just kept plugging away at work with no family life and now suffer a lonely life, but I kept that insurance all my life, and at 45 by month's end lose my prescription coverage unless I mail the October payment of 391.00 and the november ck for 391.00 The fight goes on.Surviving the recent marriage and abuse came from strength gained as I greww in my personal relationship with God.Each incident seemed to be an effort to make me be more dependent on a controlling person that I was afraid of yet I directed myself to faith instead. Whatever problems were involved I cannot say. I stayed until I had to go and then I left and stayed away.Things were necessary for me to have the strength in my heart to get through it all. My turning point came when I laid my hands on my husband and prayed for him then I followed my heart and I confessed to him it is the glory of God that heals. (forgiveness)In order for me to do massage therapy or prayer I let go and asked for forgiveness in a way I never had before with the understanding it is ok and that God knows we are not perfect, He did not make us that way and that we are so loved when we come to Him in this way that He will protect us through thick and thin. Being a little older now and not having worked for over 4 years I am at this very scary point of being unsure of myself and the facts look pretty bad. I need to do something, but don't know what!Kacey thank you for your email, I am thinking about it, do you have any ideas? I started to tell you three times today, I scanned your PParade article for you, that was so great~!WOW, I have typed a novel, so sorry, hugs and you blessed my heart so much the other night that I will never forget it, you are so special and so supposed to be here with your gifts and wonderful kindness. Thank you for sharing your story and while not much of what some of us have experienced is pleasant I remain hopeful for some way positive outcome, just like Kacey's article today, changing people's lives, that is awesome! M, I love you like a sis, R> I'm sure we can support each other as I have suffered from many of the things you mentioned, specifically a boyfriend that through me down over and over again all night landing on top of me, in a jealous rage. That's when they ruptrued, I think. I quit work shortly there after, and by 6-8 months was full blown. Love, > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 , I understand that I am not ready for a serious relationship after all that stuff happening. This has been a pretty spiritual experience for me. I guess one day I could be part of a permenant relationship after I become a whole person. A job and getting back up will make the difference I think. Being forced to focus on my needs has been an awakening for me. Thank you for your uplifting responses and prayers, prayers go up and blessings come down, love, Rhonda > I love you guys too. its amazing how these girls all over the world have come here to heal in so many aspects.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Rhonda, it is so true. Most have to become whole first. For some reason, Joe helped me do that, these last 5 years-while I always thought you have to find yourself and heal first, then meet a partner. it didn’t happen that way for me. Maybe God knew I wasn’t strong enough, to do it alone. Unlike you It sounds like you are strong enough.
