I was ashamed to admit the extent of our violence. ~Kate Hurley Some of us are involved in relationships characterized by violence, some of it overt, some of it subtle, all of it destructive to spiritual growth. Whether we're perpetrators or victims of violence, and whether the violence is physical or psychological, we need to stop perpetuating it. Denial, shame, or fear of loss - loss of a relationship or loss of community approval and support - may keep us from speaking about our role in a violent relationship. Various forms of violence are more common among us than we have been willing to acknowledge. Any of us who have experienced battering or abuse at some time in the past and any of us who suffer from self-hatred or who have used addictive substances or behaviors to numb feelings of outrage and frustration are at risk. Speaking aloud with a trusted person can be a first step toward awareness and acceptance. It is necessary to bring the existence of violence out into the open before it can be healed. Today, I can safely speak about shame. I begin the process of healing. Today's reading is from the book Glad Day
