When I was 4 years old, my mother and dad got divorced, and I ended up living with my grandparents who used to spank me with a large stick until I could no longer feel the stick hitting me anymore. This happen very often for every little thing I did. I was 5 years old when I left my grandparents to live with my mother and step dad. I was often picked on by kids in school from the time I was in grade school until after junior high. These things caused me much emotional pain, I had become detached from my emotions for a while and was like a robot. I supressed it for many years, and when these things came to surface, I tried to convince myself that I deserved it to help ease the pain, and that lead to self destructive behavior, which I did the same thing to myself as what my grandparents did to me, and it kept getting worse and worse. My self destructive behaviors began at age 18 on a regular basis. Convincing myself that I deserved the abuse was the wrong thing to do and was harmful. I had to accept what happened to me and had to accept that it was wrong. I came to the Lord with this, and asked Him to help me forgive those who wronged me the way He forgave me of my sins, and he helped me forgive all who wronged me. When I forgave them, a huge burden was lifted off, and I was free from all this at 27. I had to confess my self destructive behaviors to a friend so he could hold me accountable and pray for me, along with diligent praying myself. I was freed from my self destructive behavior at 29. I am now trying to help others break free. God Bless You! Rodney Calmes (920-471-2169)
