Cesspool of the Soul

ABUSE

Abuse during childhood tends to settle into our soul rotting it to the bottom, forming a thin layer of disgust on top, soon becoming a cesspool.

Cleaning out a cesspool is no easy task.  Regardless of how bad the cesspool smelled before, skimming off the muck on top always makes the stench worse, some would say unbearable. After the scum on top has been cleared, the water has to be cleaned and begin flowing so it will not stagnate again.

Facing and Purging the memories of childhood abuse is cleansing the cesspool of the soul.

It is not an easy or a pleasant process. Often we are not able to face the shame and pain until the perpetrator is no longer a part of our lives or try to cover the pain and stench with substance or self abuse. For many, living with the stench is more tolerable than facing the memories and reliving the pain; but it is vital to face them in order to once and for all cleanse the memories and trauma.

The unhealed pain of childhood abuse is a poison to our soul that seeps into our relationships, our parenting, and our emotional well being.

If you can bear it - face your past - your pain - and once and for all leave them behind
