So Who is Purple Rainbow?

Purple Rainbow is a name I came up with to provide some annonymity when I first joined a mailing list. At the time I was thinking about changing my name to my mothers maiden name - Bow - so I sort of liked the rainbow bit.

I would love to use my real name but because of the content of these pages and my abuser is still alive I am scared of being taken to court for defamation. This wouldn't be a bad thing as the truth about what he did to me may just come out but financially and emotionally I cannot afford to be taken to court at the moment. Maybe one day I will be able to use my real name for these pages.

There is a lot more to me than the story of my abuse that is written here. I have put these pages up to provide a forum for me to speak out about childhood sexual abuse. If I were to put my whole life up here I would need to spend more time writing web pages than actually living. I don't want you to get the impression that my life is solely about abuse. It is not.

Since I wrote these pages a lot has happened. I am now a lot more in control of my life and in a much better situation. Reading over this site now I would just like to add that these were my views when this site was written. Me and my thoughts, like anyone else, are constantly changing and, I hope, growing over time.
