Bringing up the topic opens you to so much verbal abuse, but you were compelled to speak nevertheless. I aspire to speak/write all of my truth so that others will not hesitate to in the future. Thank you for the inspiration. -Mel. Thank you for giving words for the pain that so many of us have not.

My mother, my heroine, was victimized...her sister was, too. Thank you for the resiliency, the commitment, the courage, the love that made you/inspired you to share this with us. I will do my best to translate this into Spanish for my mother and share it with her when the time is right.

Raw honesty is a healing art - you've presented the raw here. Emotionally this is heartbreaking and inspiring.
