Admin	how do i open up and trust after abuse Posted : 18 Feb, 2011 07:27 PM Outside of Christ I've had 3 relationships, 2 of which were abusive physically in more ways than I care to share. I had a baby in January 2010 and came to know Christ. I met a man who I knew was the one God wanted for me.....long story short, when my baby was 5 months old this man started putting chemicals in my baby's eyes and fractured 4 of her bones. I want more than anything to be married and loved but I am so petrified of men. I've been single now for 6 months but I'm afraid to get hurt physically and emotionally. Any tips on how to stop being afraid of men? I can't make eye contact or look at a man because I'm petrified he is going to yell and scream at me or reach out and hurt me....any suggestions????

I too have been abused never physically but I have emotionally, verbally, and sexually. The biggest thing, is you need time to heal. Give it all to God, let him heal all the brokeness that the man did to you. I think broken people tend to attract broken people. Like all my relationships I just got used over and over agian, because I didn't take time to heal. I just settled for the next guy that would give me attention. God wants to heal us up, so that we can all have amazing lives and be good witnesses for everyone. He wants people to look at you, and see the light of Christ in you. He doesn't want us walking around all broken, with trust issues, etc. But the other thing is, there is a reason you have trust issues. And they are there for a good reason. That man was wrong. No person should treat another person badly. I don't care what the circumstance is. Just heal hun, and the right guy will come to you. Post Reply
