I am valued by God and Loved

I am loved I am valued, by God. Now that I am a adult and I have heard that your parents did their best to raise you. I often wonder if my parents regret that I was kept a secret? Question? Was it in my best interests to keep my identity quiet? I am admitting and speaking out. I needed the truth. What was done to me was wrong. I don't care if it was the thing to do it was WRONG! With holding the truth and keeping me a secret. It was not okay to put a secret on any child. To avoid embarrassment and shame. I know that was what happened in the 1950s. It doesn't make it right. Any excuses doesn't make sense. Things should have been different. This was wrong. I am speaking out because at 62 I have kept silent far too long. I have kept this in far too long. I have arthritis issues and not saying that this is wrong and trying to please people has caused a lot of stiffness. I told my story and that was a start. I have never express my feelings of how the secret effected me. I don't think it is too late to speak up. Abuse is wrong and in the same way keeping my identity secret is not acceptable. I also know that I have worth and I have value. It comes not from family but from God.

I am fearfully and wonderfully made by God. This helps me come to terms with what has happened to me. Until next time
