I was wondering how abused kids would relate to God after the stress. What do you think about it? I guess I should start by saying something.
​
I am fifteen and I was abused most of my life.

Sono, why don't you give us a little more insight. Obviously, you had the experience, so you are in a perfect position to give us an example of how abused kids would relate to God.

First questions first.
​
Are you still in the abusive situation?

1-800-656-HOPE is the national sexual abuse hotline. They're free and confidential and can point you to the resources that will help. Sorry to hear about your situation; clearly you're a young person of great courage to speak about it here.
​
To your question: I imagine that a fair number of young persons would become angry atheists, feeling that God abandoned them. A fair number of those persons would probably become Christians later; people who hate God don't make very committed atheists. (They have to believe in God to hate him, you see.)
​
I imagine that an abusive situation is like the elephant in the living room - no matter what spiritual path they walk, it's going to be about the abuse.
