| Precious, I know the pain of being unloved and unwanted, but out of the kindness of their cruel hearts you are allowed to stay! You and I are survivors, we survived childhood, we are self taught and Damn fine women! LOVE YOU! SC |

| Those of us who have gone through abuse, in one form or another, know the pain and horror of this crime, that you write so precisely about. This subject has been written about in many different forms by so many different people, but it is a very deep and emotional subject that, sometimes, only through our writing can we express our feelings. I have touched on child abuse in some of my writing, but tend to find myself unwilling to dig as deep as you have. So, I know how difficult this must have been to write. I admire your honesty and ability to pull no punches about it. God Bless and I wish you the best. Debbie |

| Sad...too many children suffer. The key is to be the best you possible and forget the past. Otherwise you keep repeating it in your mind. Fill you mind with good thoughts. When I discovered that...the rest could be let go of. |

| Rein--that's something I can never bear to conceive. I just can't understand why people thrive on violent behavior. It saddens me so. Instead of being a child of blood, he or she should be a child of love. You have subjected my mind to the obscurities of the mere fact that child abuse does happen and you have successfully trapped me into the mind of the victem. Your works are truly exceptional! Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece. LC |
