After I had been in 12-Step programs for almost 10 years I quit going, not because they weren't helping me, but because I needed more time to live what they had taught me. I do understand you motives for leaving.<br /><br />You are very welcome for my support of The Blog Carnival Against Child Abuse. I am glad that Tracie of From Tracie blog has taken it over. I will continue to support the Blog Carnival.<br /><br />I will miss you and your blog. You taught me the definition of "thriver." I had never heard it as a word for a survivor before I found your blog. You inspire me. You have been through so much, struggled with it and won. I hope that your blog will still be shared online. It can continue to teach so many newcomers to the Survivor community. There are still many articles that I haven't read. I wasn't around for the entire 5 years of your blog's existence. On June 1, my blog will be 4 years old. <br /><br />Thank you for your support and your friendship. You will be missed. You have taught me so much about myself. Even though we are so different in some ways, we are so alike in our feelings as survivors.Patricia Singletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114250171020836470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679672539901170150.post-23910648666092049762011-03-21T10:34:17.508-05:002011-03-21T10:34:17.508-05:00This makes my heart hurt.

But, I agree with everything you've said here and I thank you for raising awareness.<br /><br />As you know, I'm making the rounds to say goodbye to the blogosphere after five years of blogging. I want to thank you, Patricia, for being one of my favorite bloggy and Twitter friends! Your blog has always inspired me. I also want to thank you for your support of THE BLOG CARNIVAL AGAINST CHILD ABUSE. The carnival is richer with you involved.<br /><br />I wish you many continued blessings on your amazing journey! *hugs*Marj aka Thriverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06825698906631474866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679672539901170150.post-87528405181118568712011-03-15T20:08:51.818-05:002011-03-15T20:08:51.818-05:00Pastor Sharon, thank you so much for writing your ...Pastor Sharon, thank you so much for writing your own post. I hope that others do the same. We need to voice our anger and anguish over the injustice of this situation. No one, especially a child should be blamed for their own rape. Please feel free to come back and post a link to your article. I will read your article.

Her future is being played out in my head, and it brings me to tears.<br /><br />She should have support and love surrounding her right now. Instead, she's alone. Where's the justice in that?<br /><br />So sad.<br /><br />Journalists like that make me very angry. You wonder how they can write an article like this. It's so wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
