I am involved in our church youth and many ythrow away children attend. My heart aches for them. One young teens close firnd commited suicide a few weeks ago. She was abused by her uncle, when finally working up the courage to tell, she was called a liar by own parents. SHe died feeling unloved and unwanted. My heart yearns to do more for these children.

Shelly, I too know what it's like to be hurt and abused with no one to help you. I did not suffer to the extent that you have, but I do feel it continues to affect my daily life. I have never talked about my issues to anyone outside my family. It sounds as if the ladies you spoke wtih really helped you. My prayer is that this new chapter in your life allows you to heal and help others. I love you girl! xoxox
