I never was abused but cried when I read your book. I never imagined what a life of abuse could be but in your book it was fully understood. I would like to know more like how you managed to live your life as a mom, work and make new acquaintances after beaten to near death emotionally and physically. Are you considering writing another book? Maybe a memoir? I would buy it so that\u2019s one book pre-sold. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Ben<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Dear Ben,<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Thank you for sharing! I\u2019m glad to hear that you were never abused. It&#8217;s important to me to hear from those like you who can&#8217;t understand why anyone can abuse a child. It&#8217;s sad. \u00a0My story is no doubt a difficult and emotional read, but it was necessary to share the trauma of what can happen to a child when repeatedly abused. I can sense you felt my pain. I&#8217;m sorry my story brought you to tears but glad that you came to an understanding of abuse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>I am currently working on the sequel to <em>Switching Time<\/em>. It is my hope that it will be taken seriously and published some day. In my book I share all the stories questioned about my being a Mom, relationships, the good, the bad, the ugly, betrayal, starting over and so much more. I believe it\u2019s an important next step to my healing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Thank you for caring and for my first pre-sale!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Karen<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by Ben\u00a0on 11 Aug 2010 at 1:22 am Hello Karen, If I was a man suffering from abuse I would be happy to learn from you but I am not.
