A ghost story.

A ghost story.
Hi, my fraternal brothers.

Well, here we are at the start of the season "the happiest time of the year."

For some of us it's just the opposite. For me it's Thanksgiving day.
A day that i relive over & over for all of my adult life.
A boy hog tied to his "mom's" bedpost on that special day of Thanks.
I see that boy there, a boy abused by his "mom," emotionally, mentally, physically & sexually,almost since he was born. I see in living color him there & those words of hate being told to him.
It has defined over these years just how this day & time of the year starts out for this boy/man.

However, i am on the real verge of letting a ghost go out from my life
You see i have let a ghost run most of my life & after years of therapy i'm on the verge of "Letting it go."
I think that i have finally emotionally & mentally reached the point of my life where she can be evicted from my heart, mind, body & soul forever into eternity. A battle finally won?

Thanksgiving day will be the defining moment, of one battle in the long war of coming to terms within myself.
The ghost of Thanksgiving's past will try & run my day.

That boy/man is ready. Hopefully he will persevere, on his long journey to become a true survivor of female abuse.

I wish all my fraternal brothers, well in healing.

"I will take that lost boys hand, and I will lead him from the depths of darkness, into the sunshine, forever into eternity."
As he is me.

Peter,

I am so sorry that your Thanksgiving has been imprinted with such horror and that you had to endure all the abuse you did. I am also sorry for all the pain this has left you with in your adult life.

I am in awe of your strength and determination to not let this define you for the rest of your life! Your posts always seem to give me some of that strength and give me the determination to move ahead with my life, too. Thank-you for that.

Be well,
John

I am sorry for the years you suffered through Thanksgiving. What you endured was horrible.

It is wonderful to see your resilience and desire to face the demon of the past. I hope this Thanksgiving is truly a defining moment and you can enjoy the day for what it is, a day to give thanks and not to be tormented.

The wonders of therapy, how it helps many face the past and not let the past control them. Your story is a testament to this as is many other stories here at MS.

Enjoy!!!

Kevin
