To Stacy and other surviviors

I seen your story on 20/20 ID last night. I could not have described my father better if I tried. Your father and mine were EXACTLY alike in their abusive ways. The dectective was totally right when he said that survivors wish they would have done what you did. Not a day goes by that I don't think about who he might be hurting today. I wanted to jump through the TV and smack some sense into that arogant prosecuter! He obviously knows nothing about the effects of physical and sexual abuse. Your eyes told me everything I needed to know while you were telling your story then when I heard your entire story there wasn't a doubt in my mind that you were telling the truth. I don't condone killing in anyway I'm just saying I understand where your head was at then and I think your very brave to have had that much love for yourself and your sister. I just had to tell you that.

Thanks for sharing your story and know that it really touched my heart. As much as we had to live through and given the fact we wouldn't wish that upbringing on any child, it helps to know that someone else pulled through it and is the better person for it.
