I know there are alot of Kimmys' out there. You are men and women who have known shame and betrayal at the hands of those who were supposed to love and protect them. I know Kimmy's story well, you see, I am Kimmy. I learned a number of things on my journey. You can't deal with abuse on your own, and certainly not until you're ready.
Healing involves surrendering, for a time, to all the pain, and letting go of the anger.
I wore anger like a mask, to keep people from getting too close. Yet, I hated the lonliness. The greatest lesson of all, however, is that you cannot be truly free of your past until you have forgiven those that have hurt you. I know that sounds impossible, and it is, if you try to do it on your own. That kind forgiveness can only come from God.
