Saving Grace
Quote From: angedenSaving Grace definitely took me back to when I was eight "I had the same thing happen". I wish now I had a Dr. Phil back then. It was never spoken of and although it shaped my life I realize after watching Saving Grace I need to get some help for myself. I am so glad Grace WILL be healed with Dr. Phil's help and I realize the impact his show has on many people who are probably going through the same things I am. I not only feeling empathy for the family I know what Grace is going through and I know the hills she will have to climb. I was amazed at the emotions the show stirred up in me but hope others watching and suspecting family members will now open up and do something about it. Again thank y ou I would like to say that this tapping brought out certain feeling I have been dealing with and never understood why. I was molested by my grandfather tat started when I was around 2 or 3 years old and continued until I was around 11 or 12. The things that he did to me was very hard to deal with. I never spoke of it to anyone until I was in my late 20's and I still limit what I am willing to discuss. Now that I am 50 I can talk more about it and from my 20's to now it has gotten easier to talk about. I know that there were so many bad things done to me that wasn't my fault. I still haven't understood all my felling in many different ways until I seen how Dr Phil responded to Grace's drawings. I have always felt not worthy, pretty, loved or good enough. I starve for approval, attention, and most of all Love. I have a wonderful husband who has tried to understand my emotions and has been there for me. I also have a wonderful son who I know I have made feel guilty by not showing me enough attention or love. Since this program has aired I understand why I feel so insecure. It has never been anyone's fault but my own insecurities. I know there are a lot of people out there that have kept a secret like this because back in our days this was just not a subject that was never discussed. It is just so sad that I have gone though most of my life with this terrible guilt of dirtiness. I would also like to say that when you are a child you can say no and even beg them not to do this to you and it doesn't matter they will or can still do this. I hope that understanding certain feelings now I can move forward in a more productive way of life. So I want to say Thank you to Dr Phil and to Grace for her bravery. .
