Men,

Please wish me well. Tomorrow I'm confronting face to face the priest who sexually abused me twenty-seven years ago. I feel strong. I never imagined the day would come. You have made me strong enough to do it. Thank you.

I'm With You
(Print the Lyrics)


I'm standin' on the bridge
I'm waitin' in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothin' but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but theres no sound

Isn't anyone tryin to find me
Wont somebody come take me home

It's that damn cold nights
Tryin to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
But I, I'm with you, I'm with you

I'm lookin' for a place
I'm searchin' for a face
Is anybody here I know
'Cause nothin's goin' right
And everything's a mess
And no one likes to be alone

Isn't anyone tryin to find me
Wont somebody come take me home

It's that damn cold nights
Tryin to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
But I, I'm with you, I'm with you
Yeah yeah

Oh, why is everything so confusing
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah,
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah,
Yeahhhhh

It's that damn cold nights
Tryin to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
But I, I'm with you, I'm with you

Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I, I'm with you, I'm with you
Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I, I'm with you, I'm, I'm with you
I'm with you

Peace

AND HOW IT IS YOU WHO MAKES US STRONG
THANK YOU Muldoon
 
I know you will have the strength and wisdom to hold your head up and RETURN all the shame and guilt you lived with for years back to whom it really belongs. This man who betrayed you, your family and God.

"Things now hidden in darkness will be revealed in the light" This is the saying written on a banner which hung in a church. My perp took me to this church to read me this banner when I was much younger, he was very upset with me this day because he was begining to see how much I was trying to avoid him. In fact he was in a rage that day and very much out of control....I was terrified. He could not see or understand who really had the issues...and it was not I.

I don't know the particulars of your abuse but I am sure he was someone you once trusted and admired. I suspect he even used your faith to somehow justify his actions. Clergy abuse is often the equivelant of incest because of the close relationship between the victim and the perp.

My how the tables have turned...it is your turn to reveal in the light, that which has been hidden in the darkness for much too long! The Truth will set you free...my prayers are with you JamesMichael. May you speak with true wisdom.

I wish you the best of luck james. I hope that facing that SOB will give you some closure to you past sa. Take care my brother and do not let him hurt you every again.
 
I did it. It went well for me. I was strong...I felt the support of all at MS. He said I initiated the incidences...then retracted and said, well, yes, I was the one in authority afterall. He was arrogant, patronizing, condescending. I didn't let him get away with it. I put it all back on him. I'm different for having confronted him. I'm still assessing how so. Overall, so much freer, more spontaneous and centered on who I am and becoming. It's great to throw-off the stuff that's been weighing me down. Thanks for all the support here.

JM,

WTG in your courageous confrontation of your perp,
as well as your not backing down & taking any blame, which to me would have been to let the arsehole abuse you again. What a powerful healing step you've taken for yoursef, and what an example you've set for the rest of us, whatever our path in confronting our perps. Thanks JM!
:cool:
Victor
 
Wow!! That's awesome! :D You are so brave. I wish I could do something like that but every time I talk to my mother I am back in the victim position again. Some day maybe I will have the courage to stand up to her. You are healing very well. :)

I didn't let him get away with it. I put it all back on him.

These are words we should shout out loud Michael, that's such good news.

Thank you for making sure one less perp gets away with it.

JM,

Congratulations! That's a big step.
