Today is Father's Day and as I
remember my father and the love I received will always continue to live with
me.
I met a beautiful young women
Rosalie, on Friday and she asked me “when do you forgive your abuser?” It is not about forgiving them, it’s about
forgiving yourself.
Victims and Survivors of
Domestic Violence and Police Officer Involved Domestic Violence, have and
continue to blame, shame and guilt themselves for being beaten by a love in
their life. We may never be able to fix
or correct the damage that has caused us but…I and Clara Colon and many more
will continue to stand strong and speak out.
So I
ask our Great Spirit, our God to hear my prayer.
Please dear father in
heaven please forgive me for speaking out but...I know in my heart I am not
nor, will I ever feel completely, trustworthy of the men who caused me
permitted damage to my vision.
My
children will be visiting my past abuser, the memory of my abuse has not and
will not be erased. So to Keith R. Sadler and Anthony E. Suber because of your
abuse and never being held accountable for the damage you caused me, OUR GOD
has given me a voice to help others. The abuse you caused will continue to live
on through the years. To my children, my love will always be with you.
To
all the great fathers.
