Thank you Bev and others for your encouragement.
Sadly for me, not every abuse survivor wants an angry, activist mother! Isn't it ironic! One of my daughters is the one in our family who wishes this subject would never be spoken of, ever again.
I feel, when it comes to child abuse, there is no way to get it right. No way to make it better. By it's very nature itself, this evil destroys, and no response is guaranteed to always be the correct one. It hurts, and hurts, and hurts.
While I cannot seem to heal the broken relationship in my own family, I am gratified that my stubborn advocacy for victims of MK abuse in any country, mission, and decade has been helpful -- maybe even healing --for others.
My love goes out unendingly to all of you MKs ... together we stand, in the fellowship of the suffering.
