Men
The hidden half of domestic violence
Abuse does not only happen to individuals and of course we at Shattered Men do not for one moment think only women do it. This would lower ourselves to the gender feminist level. This is a link to a group of boys that were abused.
The American Boychoir School is an example
of institutional abuse at a boy's boarding school in Princeton, New Jersey. The
New York Times and ABCs Nightline described decades of alleged abuse by staff
and teachers. Time Magazine wrote that some of the most heartbreaking
allegations of sexual abuse are coming from former students at the American
Boychoir.
www.americanboyschoir.com
is a site designed in cooperation with several alumni of the school who were
victims of sexual abuse.
The reason things like this can exist is because SIN is covered up. Hidden SIN always demands payment and it is always more then we can afford. To the boys that were abused, I urge forgiveness for your benefit. Most of all, I urge you to assure that You have a right relationship with the only one that can heal the wounds that this caused. Just as Humpty Dumpty was shattered, things like this shatter the soul, but there is one that can put these pieces together again. Of course the FIRST STEP to real healing is found here.
HE TOUCHED ME
He touched me, O he touched me,
And O the joy that floods my soul!
Something happened, and now I know,
He touched me and made me whole.
Shackled By a Heavy burden,
'Neath a load of guilt and shame,
Then the hand of Jesus touched me,
And now I am no longer the same.
He touched me, O he touched me,
And O the joy that floods my soul!
Something happened, and now I know,
He touched me and made me whole.
Since I met this Blessed Savior,
Since he cleansed and made me whole,
I will never cease to Praise him;
I'll shout it while eternity rolls.
He touched me, O he touched me,
And O the joy that floods my soul!
Something happened, and now I know,
He touched me and made me whole.
