Sutton - Thank you so so so so much for telling my story and sharing my desire to make a real difference for those suffering from the effects of child abuse and sexual abuse. You did an AH-MAZING job. See you in San Francisco, right?

I sure understand. I believe you are one very courageous & magnificent person. You are making a positive difference for countless people. Thank you! I only wish I could be open and fearless about sharing my traumas and childhood abuse. I still carry the feelings of shame and embarrassment from the period beginning in 40-54 years ago. I will follow your mission and run.
