Hi, Sunny,
I don't know if my answer can stay on this board, but here goes:
My experiences are not the same as yours, but I have felt the same feelings. It's terrible to have nowhere to turn, no one to trust, no one to understand; to want desperately for life to be different and to even pray and seem not to find answers or help. You sound young. I wish I could give you an easy solution. I can't, because I've been stumbling along myself for most of the last 30 years. I don't even know what I want to say, except you sound strong enough to find your way eventually. Don't give up. Have faith in yourself.Being a Christian, I found it hard to understand why God did not change my situation. I finally realized that I had to be responsible for my own defense. I must keep myself safe. I must not stay in an unsafe situation. God did not want me to allow another person to hurt me. It sounds like you already know this.
My own hurts are only lifted when I have strong, loving Christian friends praying for me. I wish that for you and I will pray for you. The love and prayers of Christian friends will make a difference. If you don't know any, call a few churches who have prayer ministries and ask them to pray for you.
I'm reading a book now called, "Safe People" by Henry Cloud and John Townsend. Maybe it would help you. You can order it from Amazon.com if you can't find it in a bookstore.
I really believe that prayer can do as much or more good than any other therapy. I hope others will see this and pray for you too.
