I have never read those books, but I am going to purchase them. Thank you for your support. It really makes me feel good and hopeful. Talk about triggering...My daughter has a friend whom confided in us that his mother and father abuse him, his brother and sister. He told his story, and it really made a whole lot of emotions and feelings, memories...flood in that I am having a hard time dealing with right now. I thank God for this message board. You all came at such a needed time in my life. Mary, I am so sorry for you too. It saddens me that there are so many of us out here. I am however happy I found you all. Thanks again
