What happens when you speak up about abuse in a church… a 🧵:

When the spiritual & emotional abuse happened to me at an ACNA church, I didn’t share anything about it for a long time. Who would believe me? /1
When I finally did share (because what had happened had torn me apart and it was impossible to continue to pretend nothing had happened), the responses and reactions made things so much worse. /2
I was disbelieved; the abuse was minimized; I was blamed for the abuse; a so-called friend held an intervention because I “had a mental illness” because of how I was reacting; close friends in the church turned against me and chose to align themselves with the abusers. /3
