The word “heal” or “healing” means to cause an undesirable condition to be overcome and restore to original innocence or integrity. Healing is a journey to improve the physical and mental state and renew a person’s emotional and spiritual aspects.
Dear Victim,
You were an unfortunate person who suffered ill-treatment. As a child, you grew up in a dysfunctional family. You lacked the parental, and spiritual guidance needed to live an abundant life.
The father who was supposed to provide and protect violated you. And the mother who was supposed to nurture and love refused you.
Unfortunately, you were a victim of sinful conditions growing up.
I wrote this sincere “Open Letter to Parents” back in 2014. At the time, I was putting the broken pieces (called life) back together. I was healing emotionally from child abuse and domestic violence, and spiritually from years of living in darkness with fear.
Dear Parents,
I’m mad as hell at you!
The life you prepared me for was full of turmoil, anguish, and pain.
It sucked!
Parental rejection is difficult for a child to understand, and the effects of a parent’s rejection can be long-term. Perhaps my story will help others to understand their own parent’s rejection.
As a child and young adult, I could never understand why my mother rejected and never showed her love towards me. She always seemed distant, callous and cold-hearted.
In the summer months, she locked us children out of the house until late afternoon. Her children were a bother to her.
