Terri Hall
“After several encounters of physical and sexual abuse, by age fifteen Terri felt alone, unloved and rejected… My life has been a journey from rejection to rejoicing. I grew up in eleven different homes, with eleven different guardians. I felt alone, depressed and unloved. A man sexually abused me when I was six years old, another man at age eleven, and a third at fifteen.”
Lisa Walker
“I never revealed my biggest secret of all about my uncle molesting and raping me from four to eight years old while baby-sitting me and my younger sister. My mother and grandmother had told me to forget about it and to never ever tell anyone, but no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t forget. I now wish that I had told someone. As I cried myself to sleep almost every night I felt abandoned, rejected and so alone.”
God’s Anointed
“Most evenings after school, a relative of mine would fondle me and touch me in ways I was scared of at first, but learned to appreciate after a while… There the same relative as well as another relative of mine raped me. On returning home, the battle in my mind started…”
Ricardo Santana
“2 men in the household sexually abused almost everyday many of us children… This went on for about 4-5 years… I felt so lonely, and always got into fights at school and out of school. I was full of hate and anger.”
Susan Stafford
“Miserable under the influence of my pimp, rapist, and role model step-father - and he was making money off of my destruction. It wasn't supposed to be that way with my step-father, was it?”

“As I sat there I thought about how unfair my life had been. How I had been jipped out of having a father. How I had a minor disability (dyslexia), how I was poor, how I was being raised by a mother who was cruel to me. And how I had been molested by some stranger at the age of four.”
Star Burch
“After some research, I found some interesting sources for homosexuality: (A) a demon, (B) Undeveloped relationships with same sex parents and (C) Sexual abuse [in any form, you name it]. So what caused it for me? (D)All the above and THEN some.”

“…because I am a survivor of incest… But Christ has healed me of all my wounds, and I am alive today because Jesus Christ saved me body and soul, there is no doubt about it.”
Andrea Do Santos
“To add to the instability in my life, I was sexually abused by a son of some friends of a family. This started when I was eight years old and continued until I was about 12.”
Miriam Passmore
“She had no outlet for the fear, shame,and hurt she had experienced. Molested by a family friend. Someone she trusted dearly… struggled from the pit of victimization at an early age to survival, by being a tomboy and unconsciously becoming the very person she was molested by.”
