thank you. i'll keep that in mind about my decisions to buy books.
and thank you for bringing all of this to light. it is IMPORTANT to believe children when they come forward (adult children are still children) about abuse.
i am a survivor of physical abuse, emotional abuse, and sexual abuse as a child and as an adult. it is NOT an easy thing to deal with in my own mind, and while some of it was acknowledged, my first words about the sexual aspect were met with "that DID NOT HAPPEN!". mama believed me later, after he admitted to her what he had done. *shakes head* that was definitely the most surreal set of converasations i have ever had.
*offers hugs* bless you, dear, for coming forward and shining a light on this darkness. talent is talent, but it does not over-ride the terrible things that a person does.
