fosca Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 (edited) I was emotionally abused and physically neglected (maybe physically abused, too, on the rare occasion) by my dad. There was no sexual abuse by my dad; I think the thing that most affected me that my dad did was abandon my family multiple times. He eventually abandoned us permanently when I was 20 years old, and the financial and emotional ramifications where huge. About a year and a half ago, my dad came back into my life. He contacted us to let us know he was dying. I made the decision to stay with him at the hospice (with his girlfriend, who was only about ten years older than me) until he died. During that time, my dad and I made amends to each other (some of it was wordless, some of it was communicated through a priest, most of it was communicated through eye contact). It didn't erase all the hurt, not at all. But it did help me to understand my dad, to realize that he was seriously flawed, but that he did love me and my sister, despite his flaws. The song that speaks to me most about my dad, now that he is dead, now that the amends have been made, but the hurt still lingers, is the song "Daddy" by Jewel. My bones are tired, Daddy I don't get enough sleep I don't eat as good as I could, Daddy What's that say about me? Sometimes I sleep past noon, Daddy Drink lots of black coffee and I smoke like a chimney. Yes, I left the refrigerator door half open, Daddy. What's that say about me? Sometimes I want to rip out your throat, Daddy For all those things you said that were mean. Gonna make you just as vulnerable as I was, Daddy What's that say about me? Sometimes I want to bash in your teeth, Daddy. Gonna use your tongue as a stamp Gonna rip your heart out the way you did mine, Daddy Go ahead and psycho-analyze that. 'Cause I'm your creation, I'm your love, Daddy. Grew up to be and do all those sick things you said I'd do Well last night I saw you sneak out your window With your white hood, Daddy What's' that say about you? I'm sloppy, what's that say about you? I'm messy, what's that say about you? My bones are tired, Daddy Edited February 13, 2010 by fosca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsoul Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Music plays a big part in my healing. Sometimes when I can not describe what I am feeling I will e-mail a song or 2 to myu husband so he can see what I am feeling and then he is there for me. Here are a few of my faves: May TRIGGER********************************** Pearl Jam, Black http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0CP9RVvm_4 Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay Her legs spread out before me as her body once did All five horizons revolved around her soul As the earth to the sun Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn Ooh, and all I taught her was everything Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds Of what was everything? Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed Everything... I take a walk outside I'm surrounded by some kids at play I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning How quick the sun can, drop away And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass Of what was everything All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything... All the love gone bad turned my world to black Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be...yeah... Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...

If I close my eyes forever Will it all remain the same? Sometimes It's hard to hold on So hard to hold on to my dreams It isn't always what it seems When you're face to face with me You're like a dagger And stick me in the heart And taste the blood from my blade And when we sleep, would you shelter me In your warm and darkened grave?

No, I'll never feel the same, Oh I know I've been so hard on you I know I've told you lies If I could have just one more wish I'd wipe the cobwebs from my eyes If I close my eyes forever Will it all remain unchanged? If I close my eyes forever Will it all remain the same? Close your eyes Close your eyes You gotta close your eyes for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You learn to love country music Collin Raye - I Think About You Chorus: I think about you, eight years old, Big blue eyes and a heart of gold.

onyxiia Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I have found many songs over the years that help me here are a couple : "Hold On" - Wilson Phillips I know this pain Why do lock yourself up in these chains? No one can change your life except for you Don't ever let anyone step all over you Just open your heart and your mind Is it really fair to feel this way inside? [Chorus:] Some day somebody's gonna make you want to Turn around and say goodbye Until then baby are you going to let them Hold you down and make you cry Don't you know? Don't you know things can change Things'll go your way If you hold on for one more day Can you hold on for one more day Things'll go your way Hold on for one more day You could sustain Or are you comfortable with the pain? You've got no one to blame for your unhappiness You got yourself into your own mess Lettin' your worries pass you by Don't you think it's worth your time To change your mind? [Chorus] I know that there is pain But you hold on for one more day and Break free the chains Yeah I know that there is pain But you hold on for one more day and you Break free, break from the chains Some day somebody's gonna make you want to Turn around and say goodbye Until then baby are you going to let them Hold you down and make you cry Don't you know? Don't you know things can change Things'll go your way If you hold on for one more day yeah If you hold on Don't you know things can change Things'll go your way If you hold on for one more day, If you hold on Can you hold on Hold on baby Won't you tell me now Hold on for one more day 'Cause It's gonna go your way Don't you know things can change Things'll go your way If you hold on for one more day Can't you change it this time Make up your mind Hold on Hold on Baby hold on "Stupid" - Sarah MacLachlan Night lift up the shades let in the brilliant light of morning but steady there now for I am weak and starving for mercy sleep has left me alone to carry the weight of unravelling where we went wrong it's all I can do to hang on to keep me from falling into old familiar shoes [Chorus:] how stupid could I be a simpleton could see that you're no good for me but you're the only one I see love has made me a fool it set me on fire and watched as I floundered unable to speak except to cry out and wait for your answer but you come around in your time speaking of fabulous places create an oasis dries up as soon as you're gone you leave me here burning in this desert without you [Chorus] everything changes everything falls apart can't stop to feel myself losing control but deep in my senses I know [Chorus] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theycallmekitty Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 This one will probably mean more for survivors of date/acquaintance rape. The song is "Little Lion Man" by Mumford & Sons. The lines that I think are healing are in the chorus. I imagine my rapist saying them to me and it gives me hope. "It was not your fault but mine. And it was your heart on the line. I really fucked it up this time, didn't I, my dear?" I think it means so much to me because my rapist was my best friend and I loved him. So I need to be able to hear him admit that it was his fault, that it was my heart and that he fucked up.

prettypoison Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Rachel Proctor Remember That. Remember, How he told you You were stupid How he couldn't even look at you anymore Remember, How he told you You were crazy How he got out of the car and slammed the door. He said, "You can't do anything right. Why you gotta make me so mad? Just get out of my sight." Remember that When it's 3am And he's at your door And he wants you back And he's beggin' for Forgiveness Remember that When your phone keeps ringing All night long And that same old' weakness Gets so strong and you're Remember That Lyrics Helpless Remember that Remember, How he pushed you in the hallway Just enough to hurt a little bit. Remember, The whiskey in his whispers And the lies that fell so easy from his lips. He said he'd never do it again But he can't take it back The proof is on your skin Remember that When it's 3am And he's at your door And he wants you back And he's beggin' for Forgiveness Remember that When your phone keeps ringing All night long And that same old' weakness Gets so strong and you're Helpless, Remember that It doesn't matter how he hurts you With his hands or with his words you Don't deserve it It ain't worth it. Take your heart and run Just run When it's 3am And he's at your door And he wants you back And he's beggin' for Forgiveness Remember that When your phone keeps ringing All night long And that same old' weakness Gets so strong and you're Helpless Remember that Remember that.

marev Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 hello darkness my old friend, by Simon and Garfunkel Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again, Because a vision softly creeping, Left its seeds while I was sleeping, And the vision that was planted in my brain, Still remains, within the sound of silence. In restless dreams I walked alone, Narrow streets of cobblestone, 'neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night, and touched the sound of silence. And in the naked light I saw, Ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening, People writing songs, that voices never share. And no one dared, Disturb the sound of silence. "Fools" said I, "You do not know, Silence like a cancer grows. Hear my words that I might teach you, Take my arms that I might reach you." But my words like silent raindrops fell, And echoed, In the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed, To the neon god they made. And the sign flashed out its warning, In the words that it was forming. And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls." and whisper'd in the sounds of silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea01 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 So the other day, I was sitting in my friends car in front of my apartment. It had been a pretty rough day, and something had triggered me and I just broke down. The friend I was with is the only one that I have ever told about my abuse. One of the biggest things that I struggle with is an intense hatred of myself, especially my physical appearance. I was expressing these feelings to my friend, and she was listening and just sitting with me and being supportive as she has been thru this whole thing. We had sort of stopped talking and were just sitting in the car, the radio was on quietly in the background. A song came on that I had never heard before, and the timing was just amazing. We listened to the whole song in silence, and as soon as it stopped we just both started crying together. The song is called Beautiful its by MercyMe, they are a Christian group. Its one of my favorite songs, so I wanted to share it with you all. Here are the lyrics: Days will come when you don't have the strength When all you hear is you're not worth anything Wondering if you ever could be loved And if they truly saw your heart, they'd see too much You're beautiful You're beautiful You are made for so much more than all of this You're beautiful You're beautiful You are treasured, you are sacred, you are his You're beautiful Praying that you have the heart to fight Cause you are more than what is hurting you tonight For all the lies you've held inside so long They are nothing in the shadow of the cross You're beautiful You're beautiful You are made for so much more than all of this You're beautiful You're beautiful You are treasured, you are sacred, you are his You're beautiful. Before you ever took a breath Long before the world began Of all the wonders He possessed There was one more precious Of all the earth and skies above You're the one He madly loves enough to die You're beautiful You're beautiful in His eyes You're beautiful You are made for so much more than all of this You're beautiful You are treasured, you are sacred, you are his You're beautiful You're beautiful You are made for so much more than all of this You're beautiful You're beautiful You are treasured, you are sacred, you are his Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vacfmi Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 This is a song by Shaina Noll, from the album "Songs for the Inner Child." I SERIOUSLY recommend this album for anyone dealing with CSA, ir any other form of childhood abuse: "How could anyone ever tell you you were anything less than beautiful? How could anyone ever tell you you were less than whole? How could anyone fail to notice that your loving is a miracle. How deeply you're connected to my soul." A great song for connecting with your Inner Child! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammie1987 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I want to share this song with you, this song has helped me feel sane many a times when I've had a really low day, it sort of lifts me back up and makes me realise that even though bad things have happened to me, it doesn't make me any less of a person then anyone else.. So I want to share with you all and to say that you all too are STARS!!!! James - She's A Star Whenever she's feeling empty Whenever she's feeling insecure Whenever her face is frozen Unable to fake it anymore Her shadow is always with her Her shadow will always keep her small So frightened that he wont love her She builds up a wall Oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark Oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark She's a star She's been in disguise forever She's tried to disguise her stellar views Much brighter than all this static Now she's coming through Oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark Oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark She's a star Don't tell her to turn down, Put on your shades if you can't see, Don't tell her to turn down, Turn up the flame. She's a star It's a long road It's a great cause It's a long road Its a good call You got it, You got it, SHE'S A STAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammie1987 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 This is another song I like as the lyrics are beautiful and well connected. She walks to school with the lunch she packed Nobody knows what she's holding back Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday She hides the bruises with the linen and lace, oh The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask It's hard to see the pain behind the mask Bearing the burden of a secret storm Sometimes she wishes she was never born Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone In a world that she can't rise above But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place Where she's loved concrete angel Somebody cries in the middle of the night The neighbors hear but they turn out the light { From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/m/martina-mcBride-lyrics/concrete-angel-lyrics.html } A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate When morning comes it will be too late Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone In a world that she can't rise above But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place Where she's loved concrete angel A statue stands in a shaded place An angel girl with an upturned face A name is written on a polished rock A broken heart that the world forgot Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone In a world that she can't rise above But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place Where she's loved concrete angel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daffy200 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Tenth Avenue North There's a girl in the corner With tear stains on her eyes From the places she's wandered And the shame she can't hide She says, "How did I get here? I'm not who I once was. And I'm crippled by the fear That I've fallen too far to love" But don't you know who you are, What's been done for you? Yeah don't you know who you are? You are more than the choices that you've made, You are more than the sum of your past mistakes, You are more than the problems you create, You've been remade. Well she tries to believe it That she's been given new life But she can't shake the feeling That it's not true tonight She knows all the answers And she's rehearsed all the lines And so she'll try to do better But then she's too weak to try But don't you know who you are? You are more than the choices that you've made, You are more than the sum of your past mistakes, You are more than the problems you create, You've been remade. You are more than the choices that you've made, You are more than the sum of your past mistakes, You are more than the problems you create, You've been remade. 'Cause this is not about what you've done, But what's been done for you. This is not about where you've been, But where your brokenness brings you to This is not about what you feel, But what He felt to forgive you, And what He felt to make you loved. You are more than the choices that you've made, You are more than the sum of your past mistakes, You are more than the problems you create, You've been remade. You are more than the choices that you've made, You are more than the sum of your past mistakes, You are more than the problems you create, You've been remade. You've been remade You've been remade. You've been remade. You've been remade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daffy200 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 by Audrey Assad I'm not afraid to be honest with You today The only thing I'm sure of is You I never knew about grace before You called my name Before You touched my face with Your hand Even when I'm falling, confused, and I'm frightened and my faith is afraid to be real You, You know me; help me to want You, help me to want You You, You know me; help me to love You, help me to love You I'm not alone in this fight, but I still want to run You are the rock I say I stand on I never knew about love before Your healing touch You always hold that open door Even when I'm angry, I'm hurt, and I'm broken, won't You help me to fall on my knees? You, You know me; help me to want You, help me to want You You, You know me; help me to love You, help me to love You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicki Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 (edited) So during the past three months, I have charged my father with my sexual abuse, my family always new about it...and I debated with myself about this decision for my entire adult life, about how I was supposed to feel about the abuse... and him...and my mother... now they have turned their backs on me...my mother has told me I will be going to hell because he is a better man now...her husband...lol..and I need to leave it alone!!...Well I get motivated every morning and night..with this blasting in my car during my commute to work...or a court appearance...my life plays like a movie when I hear this...and I usually sing at the top of my lungs on the way home...and at times even cry...which is a very healing ecperience for me....so here it is... Dixie Chicks Not Ready To Make Nice Forgive sounds good... Forget..Im not sure I could They say time heals everything...But I'm Still Waiting I'm through, with doubt. Theres nothing left for me, to figure out I've paid a price, And I'll keep Paying I'm not ready to make nice, I'm not ready to back down I'm still mad as hell, and I don't have time to go round and round and round It's to late to make it right. I probably wouldn't if I could 'Cause I'm mad as hell, Can't bring myself to do what it is you think I should! I know, you say,... "Can't you just get over it?" It turned, my whole world around.. And I kinda like it! I made my bed, and I sleeep like a baby, With no regrets and I don't mind sayin' It's a Sad SAD story when a mother will teach her daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger! And how in the hell can the world can the words I said... send somebody so over the edge? That they'd write me a letter, sayin that I better SHUT-UP AND SIT (it say sing..lol) or my life with be OVER!!!! I'm not ready to make nice, I'm not ready to back down I'm still mad as hell, and I don't have time to go round and round and round It's to late to make it right. I probably wouldn't if I could 'Cause I'm mad as hell, Can't bring myself to do what it is you think I should! What it is you think I should..... Forgive....Sounds good.... Forget....I'm not sure I could.... They say...Time heals everything.... I'm still waiting Edited May 21, 2011 by Vicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
