I want to hear your story

If you were a victim of child molestation and told your family about
it, yet your family is still close to, friends with, or acquainted
with your molester then I would like to hear your story. I am
writing a book on how this continually affects you and how you can
make it right and I might want to include your story in my book. The
reason I am writing this book is because I was molested by my father
and my family chose the 'let's pretend it never happened' approach.
I spent endless holidays, as an adult, alone because my family
refused to stand up for what was right. It's strange because I know
if the roles were reversed, and they had been molested, they would
demand that he be hung from the nearest tree. But they tell me to
'just put it behind you', as if that were possible. I went through
years of hurt and anger with my family before I learned how to make
it right for me. Anyway, that's my story and my book (I believe)
will help others deal with this very issue. Your story will help them
know that they are not alone. Please take as many words as necessary
to tell your story. Tell me how this persons continued presence in
your life makes you feel, who in your family disregards your feelings
by allowing the person to be around or by bringing them up in your
presence, what steps you have taken to try to stop your family from
doing this to you, was there a specific holiday or event where this
persons presence affected you, etc. Do not include any details about
being molested or anything like that, this is about your interaction
with your family. Your story will be anonymous if you want it to be
or if you don't you can include any portion of your or any name you
wish. E-mail it to me (do not send it as an attachment as I will not
open attachments). Write your story in the body of the e-mail. You
can write it elsewhere and then copy and paste it into the body of
the e-mail. Send it to . By sending me
your story you are giving me permission to use it in my book. Yes,
it is my goal to get this book published. However, if you can write
your own story and get it published I urge you to do so. The more
attention we bring to this issue the better. The child molesters and
the people who befriend child molesters do not want you to tell your
story because your silence justifies their actions. Imagine how the
world would see them if their secret were exposed? If we keep
silent, then they win. Raise your voice; make a difference. If you
have any questions just e-mail me at the address above. Thank you.
**** off you stupid bitch.
