The Unbreakable Child
The Unbreakable Child: A Story about Forgiving the Unforgivable | Kim Michele Richardson
2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
Abuse of children is always appalling and unforgiveable. There's an added layer of disgrace to the crime when the perpetrators abuse not only children but their own authority and religious power. Such was the case with the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth at the St. Thomas-St. Vincent Orphanage in rural Kentucky, where more than a dozen nuns, a resident priest, and several other male employees routinely abused the boys and girls in their care.

I‘ve read 3 of the author‘s book & knew she has a hx of abuse. This is her story of growing up in an abusive orphanage in Kentucky. My only problem with it is that she alludes to not seeking therapy & tells a story about throwing away anx/dep meds. Maybe she just didn‘t want to talk about her treatment, but her bio says she works w/ dv victims, so I feel this is irresponsible of her. She does spread a light on the abuses of the Catholic Church.
