Your Feedback

Your book is so different to other survivors’  books that I have read…it is almost a ‘therapy book’ & the fact that you share your insights & experiences help me anyway feel – yep – I am there -oh perhaps time & therapy will effect change. Thank you (K.M.A)

You have every right to be proud and so does that little girl who has shared so much with so many. It’s an honour to know you. (K.E)

Thanks for becoming a part of my life -hugs- x (Jo America)

I have watched this from bud, to glorious blossoming, to now help so many others to flourish too with the books you have both created alone, and collated of your groups’ members so that many little girls can also feel not alone and speak, including me, thankyou. (S.B)

I just wanted to thank you for all your words of inspiration!! It has been really nice reading them and I wanted to extend my appreciation to you…many, many blessings to you on your journey…and thanks very, very much for being so very helpful to all of us, going thru our own. (Shelley)

When I joined RSOSA close to a year ago, I had no idea that it would become such a wonderful community focused on healing and growth. I have met some AMAZING and INSPIRING people here, and just want to say, with utter humility and gratitude: THANK YOU for all that you do! (Jess America)

I have just finished reading your painfully descriptive writings and looking at your pictures, figures etc and thought you deserved a word or two from me. Not that I am a particularly special person but because it is totally pointless for me to have all this admiration for you without my actually telling you so. Indeed it is you that is the special person because of what you have experienced and how you have emerged from a long dark tunnel a beautiful human being with your spirit intact. I cannot say that I have the remotest understanding of what you went through because I am not a survivor. I came from a loving family in every respect where my parents gave me everything and more. However I have all my senses and can detect, and come fairly close to appreciating, the pain in others. Your experience is now real to me and, albeit under my terms, understood by me. You are a power for good in this world, keep going and I wish you only the very best in life. (Howard)

Your website is such a truly positive yet honest account of the affects of childhood abuse… spoken from the hearts of those who know…  (via our charity facebook page)

I have not completed any therapy its pages like yours that keep me strong and remind me that I’m not alone. Thank You!

Just showing some gratitude for your posts once again, there are times when I see your posts and I think, I know exactly how that feels… I’m not alone. All I know is that I am relating to your posts at the minute & wanted to thank you for sharing & being so brave… I hope one day to have that courage.

Just started to have a look through Your website, I read, disclosure, family rejection, its so how it is. so just a small amount of time, I realise that, the tangled web, is going to become a Huge part of my life. It’s inspiring, empowering and truly beautiful, which has come from a place of something so deep, dark, and scary. just wow! DB

This tangled web we weave
Spun with silk
One long strand

This tangled web
Heavy with dew
Shimmering in sunlight

This tangled web
Strong as steel
Never buckling under pain

This tangled web we weave
With hope
And light

Dedicated to the charity This Tangled Web.
