This is very sad news, but unfortunately it happens and it happens far too much. I'm sure it has ruined many lives for those who had it happen to them. I'm glad you finally spoke out about it, QL, maybe you can finally get some closure. You are a talented and very beautiful woman--continue to hold your head up high.

Dana...you poor thing. I can't begin to tell you how much this breaks my heart. Good for you for coming out and not allowing this vile excuse for a human being to victimize you any longer.

Good for her coming out and finally speaking up. It is amazing the number of children hurt this way. The Life Beyond Trauma Conference (http://www.lifebeyond.info helps people get past this kind of horror. I am always so impressed with people coming out and speaking up about their history.
