A relief. I love it. Thanks.

Thanks, Ken.

This was validating, though I cried to, well...still on the inside. I'm managing tears now though. I have got a long way to go. I hate the way I feel. But I know God is with me.

Thanks for making it available.

I just received my copy of the DVD yesterday & watched the entire documentary last night. It's very well made and edifying. A big surprise is that two of the survivors had experiences similar to mine (violent rape) and the North Carolina psychologist even remembered a pillow in his face, same as me. We all know there are thousands of silent survivors out there with stories like ours, but there's a sense in which it's good to actually hear that the abuse was "nothing personal," it was about the perpetrators, not about us. And I enjoyed the upbeat attitude and constructive activism of the New Jersey survivor.

"The blame belongs there, not here"...
I shut others out when I feel they are getting to close..sounds like it is a normal responce..
I will watch this again..

That meant so much to me, you sharing that clip with all of us.

Thank you.

Check your local public libraries for copies of the dvd. I checked it out and it was how I was able to find this website through references at the end and on the cover. The video helps to awaken a sense of awareness for many of us that are walking around dealing with the same issues, but don't get to verbalize nor visualize it. I am proud of the 3 depicted survivors and the filmmakers that helped to realize the documentary. There really could be several volumes of this dvd . . . just reading the survivor stories so far on this website . . . . there's a lot of work to be done.

Thank you very much for sharing this clip. This looks like an incredibly powerful film.
