PR2 You have no idea how much I admire and respect you.  When I began reading NCR articles, I saw how rare it was for a clergy abuse victim to comment.  
Some people made assumptions about victims, our feelings, what we needed, most did not line up with my experiences or those of victims I knew. I thought by providing this forum with my perspective,( in a way that was not speaking for other victims who may feel differently), could be of some value to all including me. 

This was more difficult and painful than I thought, I realized why so few of us comment.

From day 1 you were supportive of me. You were my first Disqus"following." There were times when people were cruel to me and you were always the first to come to my defense. 

I have learned so much from you. You use facts to back up your comments, the level of knowledge you have about canon law, the inner workings and the history of church is incredible.   

I am forever grateful for the support and care you have given me.
