  1. Kim, I’ve known you for nearly 30 years and never knew this horrible burden my dear friend has carried all these years. You and I are a lot alike in that we tend to sweep the ugliness under a rug and smooth the top over so no one trips over our shame. So, I know how painful and difficult it was for you to share this on social media and it makes me love you and respect you even more. Thank you, dear friend and sister. Love you! -Beth

    1. Thank you so much for your love and support, Beth! When it comes to Go-to-Friend-When-I’m-Struggling, you’re wayyyy at the top of my list! I’m so thankful for you!

  2. I’m so thankful that you are brave and want to share this to be of an encouragement to someone else that might be struggling with this very same thing. We all have “secrets” that we keep and what good does it do? It makes people who struggle think that they are the only ones carrying those burdens. I love your blog.

  3. I am so appreciative for you sharing your story. The book “Be Healed” by Dr. Bob Schuchts has been so instrumental in my own #MeToo journey. Praying for you, your readers, and all other victims of abuses.

    For the sake of His sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

    1. Thank you for the book recommendation! I’m praying for us all and renewed vigilance for those of us who are shepherding vulnerable ones.

  4. Thank you for being obedient enough and having courage enough to share this! I’m certain that you are ministering to more women than you could ever know! Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your story, and praise the LORD you found your words!

    1. Thank you, Sabrina! I appreciate your encouragement, and I’m fervently praying for those who need healing.

  5. Thank you for sharing this, as hard as it was / is to do so. It is so important that we stop carrying these abusers’ shame as our own, and put the blame back where it belongs. #metoo
