Mommy there's MONSTERS under the BED........

Truth That Hurts......

Now this is an image that matches my thoughts,

 exactly to describe what I dealt with as a child.

I could not have came up with any better graphic than this artist has.

As a child I was terrified of the dark and the unknown 

characters that my ABUSER put into my head. 

I slept with a stick under my bed, because my Father had promised me

that it would keep all the Bad imaginary monsters far away from me

and I would be free to sleep safely through the night.

Boy what a lot of faith I put in  my Father, it did pacified my mind and

 allow me the security it took to be able to fall asleep, adequate
 sleep is just as important for a child as nutrition is 

in order for them to develop as expected.  

Development of the mind from beginning to end is a never ending process, 

which any traumatic experience is consequentially life altering,

The after effects may take years to even begin to show, 

depending on the individuals ability to conceptually intake

 the feelings felt front he remembrance of the pain. 

Secondary damages also exist long after the actual abuse takes place.
