>>>Subject: Re: What I'm reading - "A Child Called It" (& sequels) You are very brave Miriam. When my son was in college, they read one of the books and he told me NOT to read it. And, I took his advice. I'm afraid that it would linger too long with me, not that my head is in the sand mind you! >>>>
Linda, the fact he survives and goes on to lead a fulfilling life is what helped me cope with the facts about his abuse. It gave me hope that people CAN survive if they are helped and can earn to forgive or move on. I am just starting to read the third book where he outlines his adult life and I have been told there are 2 more books that he's written to help other abuse victims and those who want to help. The first books is not 'pretty' but the fact I knew he survived gave me hope and helped me 'put aside' the horror and read on, because I wanted to hear about the 'better ending', even though it would never be a story with a 'good ending' as such.
