Your words show genuine determination to use your experience as a tool to help others. I truly admire you for that and one day hope I too can have the strength to use my experience in an empowering way.

I see you almost everyday in our office and I must say that the one thing that stood out about you most when I first met you, was your personality. You’re a strong, genuine, and driven person and to hear a story like this from you, gives me hope that maybe one day things will be ok with me too.

I’ve been affected by sexual, physical, and emotional abuse and it’s been a struggle to hang on. Little bits of sunshine like you in my day make me realize that if I can just hang on a little bit longer, that maybe it will be ok. One day. That maybe I can beat this, figure out who I am, and help others too.

It’s hard, though, to see that light at the end of the tunnel. Especially when you have no one you can truly talk to who will take the time to listen with understanding and without judgment.

(I won’t leave my name here in case others from our office read this)

Thank you again for sharing this Scott and for listening. Keep up what you do best; inspiring others.

Thank you for your courage which has and continues to reminded me of mine.

And so brave! Keep being you. You’re changing lives and allowing others the freedom to acknowledge, be angry and showing them the path to forgiveness and relief. Sending lots of love your way!

Amazing show of strength. I share a similar history and have only spoke about it a few times. The first time was during my treatment, and the physical response from my own body was unbelievable back spasms, pain. It was chilling to read that story, just because I know how much youth has been lost. Very cool of you to allow us in, and thus explore our own demons. thanks

Everyone experiences pain in their own way. It can really knock you off your feet, or, it can be the source of strength that takes you to another level in your experience. I am choosing the second option! :)

I am working on doing the same, I have had other things happen that I could have let take me down but I didn’t and I am not going to let this last incident take me down either… You are very inspiring Scott :)
