So sorry you went through that Piglet but glad you and your brother came through to the other side and are okay now. I also had a rough childhood with a militant christian mother and absent father. I am pretty much against all of organized religion now but do like Buddhism.

I went to look up the name of a movie for you, The Magdalene Sisters, and saw that there are lots of movies on the Catholic church’s abuse that I haven’t seen. Not sure if I will watch them tho because I get too upset!

I have trouble watching children being abused so I may not watch the movie. But thank you for suggesting it. When I’m at the grocer and I hear a parent yelling at their child, I have to turn and walk away for fear of what I might say and it brings back bad memories too. I’ve fast forwarded through some of the scenes with the girls who are being hit. I just don’t understand the reasons the Catholic church would do this type of things for years and years. This right here is why I don’t like organized religion. All the hellfire and brimstone is not the way to convert people to becoming Christians, scare tactics is not the way and the Lord didn’t intend for this path to be taken by church. I know we’re taught not to question why the Lord does/allows things to happen, but damn, abusing children and even adults is not right no matter the religion!
