Dr. J Show - From Abuse Victim, to Lesbian, to Redemption: Nancy Charles Shares her Story

Nancy carried a grudge against her parents for years. They didn't help her or take her to therapy. They didn't accept her as a part of the family. To boot, they got divorced. And as far back as when she was 6 she felt like she didn't fit in, almost anywhere. To top it all off, she could recall having her first same sex attraction to her teacher in the 3rd grade. For years she identified as a lesbian and lived that lifestyle, until she came to a realization about all of these issues with her own life and with her parents: it started when she was sexually abused as a very young child. The trauma in her life had led her down the path she was on. Along her healing journey, she discovered that much of the anger she felt at her parents was misplaced and that they had worked to help her heal. Nancy Charles explains the first half of her story with Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse on episode 243 of the Dr. J show.   Nancy Charles is an ex member of the LGBTQ community who had a miraculous conversion to Christ through finding and praying the rosary at one of the darkest moments in her life. She now leads a life of chastity and shares her story to help reach others who struggle with same sex attraction and believing in God.   Tune in next Wednesday for part 2 of this can't miss interview, or join our Locals community to watch the full episode now: https://theruthinstitute.locals.com/newsfeed   0:00 - Introduction 3:54 - The Beginning - Sexual Introduction 8:46 - Abusers wrap actions in love, confusing 15:00 - Reflection - Believing it was my fault 25:03 - Unexplaned Feeling and Keeping Secrets 34:56 - Needing & Searching for an Explanation 41:57 - Impact of the Divorce 54:30 - Drugs, Anger, Anxiety, Opening up and Coming out 1:00:00 - Turning point & creating an Armour against the Abuse   Interview links:   Avoiding Babylon: https://www.youtube.com/live/LNhWOlOjXCw?si=rHylFZi1mhKIFy35   Integrated with Angela Erickson: https://www.youtube.com/live/NWwVf_Ywik0?si=C-viyrD0HELthjOc   Matters of Soul Importance https://open.spotify.com/episode/1sMMpuWZPlFCgSDKRYljIv?si=rSH5RKHxQhOUo1BR1dkU3g   Become Who You Are by the John Paul ll Renewal Center: https://becomewhoyouare.buzzsprout.com/791723/14515698   Follow me on “X” (formerly known as Twitter): @cancelwok3   Subscribe to our YouTube playlist:  @RuthInstitute  Follow us on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/theruthinstitute https://twitter.com/RuthInstitute https://www.facebook.com/TheRuthInstitute/ https://theruthinstitute.locals.com/newsfeed       Have a question or a comment?
