I simply do not have the words to thank you guys that have responded to my local paper regarding the editorial (see other post, anger is an understatement, triggers)

I was gone this weekend and came home this evening and the response I had sent to the paper was not only published but was done so in an article format, rather than as a letter to the editor.

This is the first time I have ever publically acknowledged that I am a survivor. I have told many privately, and although I was proud of myself for saying what I said, when I actually saw it in the paper, well, I have been so nervous, scared, frightened, etc... ever since.

And then I came here, and I am absolutely blown away that so many of you have responded. I sat here and actually cried, as I read you posts. I am still crying actually, with tears of joy and thanks and relief and am so honored to know those of you that I know and look forward to somehow, someday, meeting and knowing you all.

Thank you again and again.

Brent Turpin, no use not using my last name now. I'm published!!
 
brent,

thank you too for being here. i just started my realization and admittance 3 months ago after hiding and repressing it for 31 years.
i'm 41 now.

i feel it will be a long process but actually share some of the relief and peace knowing i can come here and i am not alone. also, it was not our fault.

that repression shit i did was a falacy now i know. i am going to get better, be a better person, albeit not without pain , suffering, and making mistakes along the way.

take care my brother, guy
 
Good for you brother! You've made a leap!
 
I am glad to hear that things went so well for you. I have not read your post nor did I see what was in the paper but I just wanted to say that going public with that must of been very difficult and I commend you for doing so. You are awsome. I hope that you posted it hear on the board I am going to go look for it now. I wish you all the best of luck.
 
Brent,

Thank YOU! No matter how many people ever come up to you and say, "Thanks!" because your article helped them start healing, there will always be others you didn't meet. You have helped so many people just because you put your anger to good use.

From my heart, thanks,

Joe
 
Brent, thank you for having the courage to speak for those who can not speak for themselves. You are a good, strong man.

Hey Brent,

It is so good to read about the progress you are making in your personal journey of recovery from the effects of the sexual abuse in your life.

I am happy with you.

Thanks for keeping up the good fight.
