Spirtual Abuse

I'm often asked by people to explain what I mean by spiritual abuse. So here goes.

Imagine a child who has been through some of the worst sexual abuse you could imagine from a very young age. The child learns how to tolerate it, the abuse began so long ago, that the child begins to think being raped, sodimised and brutalised is the norm. However one day the childs abuser starts bringing around friends.

The child decides to tell someone, and choses a person that they think will be trustworthy. The day comes the child discloses. But instead of doing the right thing and going with the child to the police and supporting them through the process, the person decides the child looks like a nice piece of meat and rapes the child.

The child retreats into themself. They have learnt from a very young age that people can not be trusted. They will not involve theirself in a similar situation where they could be hurt again, and they spend their life, bitter, and alone.


Not how God created us to be.
