@Appleblossom   I have a history of CSA, it wasn’t from anyone within the church, I’m not even sure any of the people that did it to me are even religious, but my in-laws are religious and it just frustrates me so much that they defend these kind of people.  

Its so hard to listen to them and not be able to say anything.  The excuses they make as to why they don’t believe it could happen infuriate me, the same things happened to me, I know it can happen but they just won’t see it.  

I feel myself  getting upset just talking about it now, I just don’t understand why it’s so hard to believe the victim.
