I have cried so many tears over your post. It is so very beautiful and true. My husband found it first and read it to me this past Saturday morning. The tears streamed down my face as I realized that I could have written this exact message. Your metaphor of hide and go seek shook me to the core as my first experience being sexually abused was by a cousin during a game of hide and go seek. Thank you for shedding light on the shame I hid behind for so long. As I walk this path of recovery, I am empowered each day by the strength honesty and authenticity provide me and the renewal God's grace and mercy has given. These have allowed me to leave the dark shadows and walk in the light! Thank you for giving voice to my struggle.
Thank you
