Almost every survivor I know has wrestled with anger at some point in their journey, so I invited our Survivors’ Voices Panelists to share their thoughts on this topic. I think you’ll find their reflections thought-provoking - and maybe helpful for dealing with whatever anger you experience in your own life as well.
Thank you for sharing. Anger about being so abused is normal and healthy and I am glad you were able to feel it and eventually let it go. Those priests have taken enough of your life.
I only had I episode of priest abuse and so far I have never been angry with him-only afraid. I think that means I have not yet allowed myself to fully feel.
I do find myself angry at the church today.
My predator traumatized me but clergy today have crushed me with their denial and lack of care for me when I triggered.
I really want to share all the posts on this blog especially the "Survivors' Voices" series but none of the people I know would believe or, worst of all, they just don't want to know the truth. I've broken off several friendships because of these attitudes.
