Goodbye Friends

Goodbye Friends
Hi David,
I wish you every kindness and the best of life. Please remember that you are worth fighting for. You are a good person and have already proven yourself a survivor. As scary as what you are facing remember to keep it in context its a bump in your life's journey might be a big bump but you have come through swimmingly tougher and bigger bumps.

Please, please, please consider very strongly the very real dangers you are likely to face if you run away. I did this I nearly did not live through the experience. In many ways I wish I had not some of the stuff is bad really really bad. You may face some similar things at the group home. But the group home at the minium provides you with shelter, food, clothing, health care, hopefully safe adults, and supportive therapy. It is also a temporary place. For far too many the streets are a never ending nightmare where the only escape is death.

I am not trying to scare you. I just feel a duty to encourage you to not do the run away thing.

I want you to know that you have my best wishes and support regardless of the choice you make. I know you will triumph, you are a remarkable, smart, and courageous young man. Be safe my friend. Be kind to yourself. Believe in yourself. Remember you are always a survivor and that you never ever, but ever again have to go it alone. David my thoughts and best wishes are with you please drop in now and then and let us know how you are. We all care for you and will be worried about you. We are here for you if you need us.

Peace my friend,
Shaun/friendinneed
 
Hi David,

This old boy wishes you the best.

But David, like most of us tell you, please don't run away.
As a young boy I was always running away from home. As an adult I was still running away. I was trying to run away from myself. I even tried to drown me in alcohol. I had absolutly no Idea just why I was trying to both run away from me (that lost boy) and trying to drown him.

When I had alcohol counseling, my social actions officer made a statement to mee "you can't run away from yourself". And all this CSA was still buried in my soul, until last August.

So my brother/friend. Please take care of yourself. Keep yourself in safe places.

Heal well friendinneed. Take with you this Irishmoose's compassion, understanding and love.

David,

Your story was a great inspiration to me and many others. It helped to give me strength to work through my issues myself. We'd love to hear from ya.

i have been there done that and it sucks . but what kept me going was the fact that he would do this again with out a doubt in my mind and there had all ready been others i new about. so this was my shot at putting him away. all i can say is if they do convict do not be shocked at the sentence because one of my perps got 5yrs and got out after 2 for "good behavior" the other got life in prison , but anyway any time away from kids was good . you are brave and it is hard there were pictures of me to . it was hard but please stay strong my prayers and thoughts are with you!!!!
