                         If you'd care to comment; or discuss incest and
                           sexual abuse of children; share your story; exchange information; or just listen for a while; you've found the proper place
                           to do so. 
  Please bear in mind that the sensitive nature of our message board concerns a VERY serious topic, and therefore
                           should be handled as such in a courteous manner at all times. Some who have suffered abuses may be in crisis stage, and words
                           spoken can trigger flashbacks, or the upheaval of repressed memories. 
  Be gentle, and do no harm. 
  Those of
                           us who were sexually abused as children need the assurances of others like ourselves, and from society, to enforce the fact
                           that WE ARE NORMAL PEOPLE. We simply had abnormal foundations in youth. We have much to offer the world, and we ALL matter
                           in the Grand Scheme Of Things. 
  Please remember to be as gentle and kind to yourself as you are to strangers. The world
                           is a funny place, and it may be the only kindness you receive today. 
  May peace, happiness, and wholeness find its
                           way into every heart... I love you, Taren Dawn

                           PROFESSIONALS, and can only offer our hearts, a hand, and support. Out of fairness to us all, and because we are all in varying
                           degrees of somewhat delicate states, it is unreasonable to expect another to be our "lifeline".
