Hello, Welcome to Survivors Across America And Beyond

COMMENTS FOR VISTORS

Below are comments I recieve from survivors from the guest book and by email. I would like to thank all of you who took the time to send your beautiful comments. When ever I am feeling down and ready to give up on this site your words give me a reason to go on .

JAMES L. EARGLE - Linda was my very a dear friend, her life come to an end April 16, 1998. I will never forget her and will never give up on trying to prevent this from happening to somebody else. Thanks for putting my letter on your site. Thanks Again,

Sherrie J. Lee - This is a great way to tell others that they do not have to go through this alone!

Cleo - I really thought it was great. It was easy to get on to the chat room, Beth was wonderful. The people were considerate and empathetic and it was very helpful. Thank you.

Donna - I was looking for poems and i ran across this. I never knew that there was a site like this. It has helped me by reading the stories and poems.I thought that i was the only one who felt like that having been sexually abused myself. A lot of the stories have what i have been going thru.Now i believe i am ready to talk to some one about it,I just wan to thank you for having a site like this.

Dawn - This is a great web page, keep up the good work. I was raped 7 years ago and was never allowed to talk about it and resolve it so places like this are my only release of the pain. Keep up the good work.

Dawn Isabelle - keep up the good work Gary, people need this king of help. I've been abuse since I was 5 years old and i'm getting help by talking to people. That is the greatest think that somebody could do for us. Thank you!

Colette - I like your page. You're doing a great job. Keep it up.

Doe Hayward - I think you are doing a wonderful job by having this site. God knows that we survivors need the understanding that can be gotten from fellow survivors.

Georgia - Thanks for putting up a web. People that have been raped such as myself need good support. It's been a little over two years and i'm still not over it. It haunts me everyday. Keep up the good work!

Georgia Bethany - What a wonderful resource listing you have. Thank you so much for providing it.

ROXY - I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. I was searching the web for a chatroom & found this site. I went into the chatroom & everyone made me feel welcome & relaxed. They told their stories and encouraged me to tell mine if I felt comfortable talking about it. Hearing others stories and knowing I was not alone was refreshing. Gary, you have done a wonderful job on the site, keep up the good work. I commend you for everything you have done.

SANDI - What a great page!! A lot of work has gone into this site and I commend you... I myself have just started a new site for survivors and I am trying to put some fun into it.... It's hard work and thank you....

SARA - Thank you for your support of survivors and child abuse issues! We need all the voices we have to be counted.

JULIE - I have never been abused, and at first I felt silly even thinking of writing this, but it's not silly. My best friend at a day camp that I went to when I was, I think, 8 years old (give or take a year), left camp one day and never came back. I found out from a mutual friend that her father had been sexually malesting her and that he was going to jail and that she wouldn't be back. Ever since then I've wanted to find her...I started writing a story about her and I visited the website to get insight on sexual abuse and how it has affected those who had to endure the torture. I have so much to express, but I just wanted to say that I have cried non-stop for the past four hours, and I'm so sorry...I'm just so sorry. The stories I have read make me want to do more, to work to help, to stop it. Survivors are incredible, strong, beautiful people. And I'm sorry.

DEBBIE - Finding this site was a real blessing.I need all the support I can get.I feel so alone so many times.

ARVEY _ I have enjoyed this site a lot. It has been very helpful and thanks for having such a great site.

BODGE - I have really been inspired by the stories on this web site. They have helped me tell some of my story (short version) more to follow at a later date. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR WEB SITE. Give my best to your wife, Gary.

VIKKI - My name is Vikki, I am currently attempting to have my husband put in jail for more than a year, it seems to me that the domestic violence laws are designed for the abuser, I mean if anyone else would have tried to kill me then they would be in jail for 20 years...where is the justice, now I am going to try and do something about it, next week I give my first speach on the subject, any advice or info would be appreciated...

Vikki DOVE - Neat site, I am glad that there are so many resources for survivors.

HOLLY - 6-17-98 Hi! My name is Holly.I'm 40's old and I'm a survivor of child abuse & incest.I have a brother & sister that are survivors too. After all these years were never allow to talk to each about our family. I would like people to know that we can speak out and let our voices hear from our hearts from pain.

MICHELLE - Thanks for helping to BREAK THE SILENCE!!!

RACHEL- I am doing a research paper on rape for a sexual psychology class. I found this page VERY useful for this purpose, as well as for my personal knowledge (ie. safety tips, etc.) I'm sure I will visit again as well as let my class mates know about it. Thanks, Rachel

ROBYN - Just had a little look around your site, and was impressed. I had hoped to get into the chat room, but the time difference here in the UK to you in the US makes it a little difficult. I was interested in what people had to say, and would like to have a better look another time and maybe have a chat in the chat room. Till then keep up the good work...
