This part of it all is almost sadder than the abuse by the offenders. These are our PARENTS. And Bemused, Maire and I (and I am sure many others) go through such a struggle, anxiety, fear, anger and down right frustration until we give up or sometimes in my case send my feelings anyway just to get them to react somehow. Like the child that misbehaves to receive abuse because that is the only attention he/she gets. Bad attention is better than no attention....is that the saying?
Well my mother text back. Said it was a nice letter from New Tribes and ask if the other letter was meant for her and Dad? and then a thanks for sharing. Typical of my mother as she avoids anything to do with New Tribes but did ask me to forward the letter. Then she hides in a weird way from my issues and then starts hiding from us all. Guilt? Sadness? Doesn't Care? Needs to Process? Those are none of my feelings and I no longer need to worry how she deals with it. I reached out again and told my parents and my family through my words I didn't want to do this alone anymore. I didn't want my family to run from me. If they do then it's ok. I have fought this battle without them for 30 year.s This time I have a few friends with me. You guys are so much more fun anyway
Just as I said to NTM that God is calling on them to save souls again. This time the ones that stole. That's a tough one...ouch. In all my midts of hurts, trauma and abuses as and adult I didn't hide nor did I ignore my oldest when I saw drug use, when I saw cutting, when I saw crying in deep agony, when I heard her say I am scared of this anger in me. Each time I stood right beside her, for her, and in some cases had to carry her then force a lesson on her by having her picked up by police and taken to a runaway shelter on Mother's Day weekend to get her to stop sneaking out at night. Not because I didn't know kids sneak out to see friends and really don't do much but talk and hang. I spent most of my Jr and Sr year tightening up every door, floor board and window to sneak and see my friends. But because I would die inside if my daughter ever had to go through what I did or for one second feel what I have felt inside for 30 years.
I have done all I can both for my daughter and to reach out to my parents and siblings. It is on them now. And their conversation and judgment with God on them.
I am giving it time to sink in with my father. And even my mother. I have just told them a few months ago about the sexual assault. The Spiritual assault I haven't. Still fear and those memories blocked out until just recently with the help of Maire and making it all the way through the Fanda report for the first time. I usually stop because it is so very sad and I just want to go down there and scoop up those little girls and climb them high into a tree to get them away from those horrible people. Then I realize they are adults now like me. And I weep. For all of us. I will continue to read their story and others. It is agonizing and devestating and dark. The more I read though the more I fight for me, for them. for you, for all victims and to try and stop more victims in the future.
READY: I sent it to my sister too.....oooh now I am in for it
J/K. What do I have to lose. We see each other only one or two times a year and she doesn't really talk to me. So I may lose that little convo a couple times a year. I will live.
I don't know how leadership in NTM can read some of this stuff as they say they do and not do something ASAP. If I had the funds that is where they would go. I don't need things, money or power to be feel like a good person or that God will put me to the head of the line for Heaven. It isn't a matter of mistakes or red tape or following some way of giving to us. Pull out your wallet, have the Accountant cut some checks. Heck if someone one from NTM would ask me for the doctors I need to see and ask which item I want to take care of first to put me back together or make me feel healthy again and take away constant pain 24/7 from somewhere in my body would be enough right now for me to have more Faith. I am giving them blind faith without even the above. I am giving you GRACE NTM and your are refusing me and so many others. I have given my parents Grace and they are waiting or stewing or feeling sorry for themselves.
So Mosquito I will sit with you from afar to keep you company while you wait. And Bemused I will sit in silence from my family showing the same to me as your father's actions. All ways to manipulate us. Their silence if they choose is destroying my words and my voice once again. They aren't the ones that have to or had to overcome Panama. I DID!!! and I am. They simply have bad feelings, as I see it, from a bad choice in a job and company. Gee I have a few of those to. Get over it.
They obviously if continue to remain in silence about what happened to me. Not them. ME then they do not carry guilt, pain or shame over what happened to me under their care.
And my mother asked me why I didn't tell anyone in Panama or her. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Do I even need to go here. No
Going to bed finally and my hands can't type anymore. I have voicing all weekend. Need some rest so that I can be ready for the flood of calls or communication and understanding coming my way tomorrow!
I will still keep hope and Faith. I promised God. He showed me he is here for me and he released the demon of anger from me. I am not breaking this promise. Waited WAY to long for this
