Good morning Violet. A very sweet and thoughtful tribute to this wonderful community. Most importantly, your message of strength and perseverance is a strong and grateful encouragement to many here who are still fighting such a battle. Beautifully expressed. Love, Shar

Hi Violet. I, too am a fellow survivor of child abuse in every form, and have only gotten stronger for all of it. I'm so glad you found your way out, as it is a very hard, hard hard road out of the darkness. Love Kristin

Right on!!! I'm so happy to know that whatever evil you have endured, you have come out to be a stronger, caring and healty person!! It is evident that you have a gift of a better understanding than most of us....you have lived through it, but survived. Now capable of helping others. And YES...we are all responsible to watch out for helpless children. We need to get involved, not turn our eyes the other way. Bless you, and hooray for your spirit! Your friend...~Carrie
