Faithful Cycles: When Parents Hurt Instead of Help

Real Life. Real Struggles. Real Truth.

Truth Cycle:

They were supposed to love you. Supposed to guide you. Instead, they yelled. Manipulated. Ignored your pain. They used fear to control, not faith to lead. And now you’re left sorting through the wreckage wondering if you’ll ever be whole. Wondering if God sees. Wondering if you’re allowed to say: ‘That wasn’t okay.’

Biblical Truth:

God is your Father and He is nothing like the one who hurt you. He defends the broken and hears what others ignore.

“When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take care of me.” _{Psalm 27:10 (NKJV)}

“Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.” _{Colossians 3:21 (NKJV)}

“The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.” _{Psalm 9:9 (NKJV)}

Quick Word:

It’s okay to name what happened. It’s okay to heal. And it’s okay to set boundaries. God doesn’t excuse abuse. He redeems the ones who survive it.
