E45 (7/10/17) My Dear Rosa Jean, Chapters 7-8
In “Turn to God with Carin,” Carin Jayne Casey shares her monthly book review of her book, My Dear Rosa Jean, a ‘truthful fiction’ about a woman’s life of domestic violence, and overcoming it. Casey encourages listeners to listen to past podcasts covering prior chapters. Casey has a Summer Special of her ebooks at Amazon/Kindle and Barnes & Noble Nook for 99 cents. And, paperbacks are affordable at CreateSpace.
We learned in past segments that Rosa Jean had suffered abuse during childhood, as did her siblings. In her adult life, she had failed at relationships leading to her entanglement with Brad. The two had a whirlwind relationship, and quickly married. Within weeks, he tried to kill her. Once she had left a women’s shelter, she forgave him, and they reconciled. In these chapters, Rosa Jean shares with her Aunt Grace the various abuses she had endured, which brought on her PTSD and dissociation episodes like in her past. Some abuses include: taking/destroying personal belongings; physical assault; taking the family pet away; pressure through shaming and fear tactics to cross a boundary (here, to get a large tattoo); sleep deprivation; and control over finances.
Casey asked some thought provoking questions, and welcomes feedback on them. She also shares her recipe for overcoming: 1) Turn to God for salvation; 2) Safely leave the dangerous/toxic environment (after much prayer & hopefully with shelter staff expertise for a Escape Plan); to have Faith and Believe in better days, a change in mindset from unloved, abused victim to loved Child of God; to be filled with Gratitude and Thanksgiving; to forgive the Abuser and those who were Indifferent. Forgiveness happens in the heart and has nothing to do with reconciling with a dangerous, abusive person. She shared The National Domestic Violence Hotline number, 1-800-799-7233 (SAFE).
Casey invites listeners to contact her with feedback at: www.CarinJayneCasey.com She has another podcast, “Abundant Living with Carin,” airing every Tuesday morning at 7:00 am EST. For a complete list of podcasts, go to www.stormtalk365radio.com
