h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Dear Kaz,

usually I'm content lurking around, but in this case I cannot keep silent. I just stumbled upon your journal (I hope that's okay with you...) and I can't tell you how sorry I am for you.

<< I have spent my life believing that coming to terms with past abuse is a good thing, and that being honest about what you experienced is god. I believed that by telling people I had experienced incest, then others who had experienced it, would see that I had survived and have someone to help them through it. >>

This is SO true! Because it's not only very brave of you to be open about it, I also think you really help others to realise there is hope beyond their misery.

I know you helped me - just by being there, as a living example. Please don't let this ruin what you built up so carefully! Most of the people here *are* friendly and sensitive. Don't give up on us!

I can imagine you're not too happy with a total stranger like me talking about your pain. Please ignore me if I crossed a line.

You're right. This *is* serious stuff.

Hi Spiffy

you are right, this is serious but so difficult sometimes. People can get quite angry at me just for sayng what I went through, I don't know why.

In the end though I understand the need to be listened to, and the need sometimes to just talk and talk and talk.

Thanks for coming and saying what you did, its always lovely to find you are appreciated!!
