"The Man in Chains, Looking for Hope"

There was a man named, "Tim", His whole life sense He was three years of age was nothing but sorrow. He was bound in chains of bondage. Tim was full of angry, hate, guilt, low-self Esteem. His Heart was longing for love but he always looked in the wrong places and always ended up rejected. He suffered abuse from His Father and was rejected by His own Mother.


Tim had been so Neglected and abused as a Child that He was so uncertain of His own identity. His Father took all innocence from Him as a little Boy by all of the rap and abuse that he did to His own Son. His Mother new about the abuse but she was always in denial because she also suffered abuse and she thought it was Her own Son's fault.
In Tim's eyes His life was "Hopeless", and His life was "mean-less", the Physical as well as Mental abuse had done so much damage to him that He did not care about life at all.
Tim never knew God, He never knew anything about the Bible His whole life He was blind to anything that had anything to do with the Bible. Tim never knew anything about love, His Parents always hated him from the time He was born. His Mother never wanted a Child but she was to far in the pregnancy when she found out about being pregnant so she had to have Him. She was so mad and bitter that she did not want to give Him up, She wanted Him to also share and suffer in some of the abuse that She as a Child tell she married his father had to suffer.
Tim Never had any friends, He was always made fun of, the kids would always tell Him that He looked just like a Girl. By the time Tim was 7 years of age tim was convinced that He was not a good Person and that he deserved to be hurt by his own Mother and father. Tim hated Himself so He thought He deserved everything that he had suffered.
It was not until Tim reached the age 16 that He started to fight back. He was tired of being abused even though He thought he deserved it He was getting tired of it. He wanted to have some control over His own life so He started to fight back every time His father would come home drunk and go straight to His room He would find objects in the room to throw at His Father but that would even make His father madder so He would get even more physical with His son, until one day He decided to run away and that is what He did.
The first two Years of Tim being a run away He had to be careful He was still a minor and He did not want to get caught by His Father or even the Police. So He lived
