Thank You Laura for your words of wisdom, I too am a survivor of childhood abuse. I am very active on the prevention side. I agree with your myth-busting article. As for me I say that one of my greatest fears as I became a mother was all the myths of victims becoming perps of abuse. Although I do not agree with this, it does strike me now (that my oldest two children are semi grown) that it created distance between my relationship with them. For that I am sorry, and now that I have it to do all over again, I will no longer believe the lies that binded me. Again Thank You Laura for writing a much needed article. I hope many people have the opprotunity to read it and take it in. Melanie
