hi all camilla and i both received this message from a cyber-sibling in re our messages to rachel about her safety i asked if i could share it with you all anonymously [i said that i think it's important to emphasize the safety issue here] and was given permission janet ---------------------- Dear Janet and Camilla, This may seem odd for me to send you a "thank you" for responding to Rachel's concerns, and I thought it over for a while and decided I would because we don't now how far reaching our efforts are unless the people that benefit say so! I was married to a man with a violent temper for 10 years, and the fear welled up unexpectedly when I read Rachel's post. I guess even though it has been 14 years since the divorce and being away from him, the conditioning is hard to lose. I was frightened for her and wanted to yell -- GET OUT OF THERE NOW! ( Somehow I don't think it would have been what she needed. ) I was relieved to see your responses. anonymous ---------------------- janet paterson - 51 now /41 dx /37 onset - almonte/ontario/canada <http://www.newcountry.nu/pd/members/janet/index.htm> [log in to unmask]
