I’m so grateful you made the choice to share pieces of your story. Your writing has given me language, at times, that I did not have. Being aware of some of the specifics of your story has helped me to understand that I’m not crazy, that survivors do tend to be vulnerable to further abuse, that healing takes time, etc. You have normalized some things for me—or helped me to understand that specific responses make sense and require compassion. I’m not sure I’d be where I am today in healing if you had not been willing to tell your story with such vulnerability and grace. Thank you.

Thank you. Seeing so many who have been able to move forward with their healing as a result of my writing is really all an author could ever hope for!
Thank you for your courage and strength in sharing what you have. It has certainly helped me in my journey.
