Thank-you everyone. I am so moved and honoured by the response to “Always Remember”.
One of the ways that I survived my life, was saying to myself that one day I would down everything that had happened. This may of been that I surrounded by books all my life. This may me believe that the written word could be a type of revenge. At the time when I was living with male violence, this was a dream – I could not imagine that I would be alive to write.
Now, when as I write, I am amazed by the power of the words that go on the page. I am also amazed that it makes so many connections with other women. I have felt so isolated for too much of my life. I am saddened that other women have had similiar experiences – but, I know that if there is a huge strength in speaking out. Love and respect, Rebecca.

Rebecca, you speak for so many whose lives and pain lead them to live in ways other people can’t understand or willfully misunderstand. It hurts to read what you have been through and to know there is a world of men who were happy to hurt you in so many ways. I hope and pray you will have joy in your life from now on and grow to love the beautiful person you are!

Thank you Rebecca for sharing your memories which are now surfacing and for being so brave to tell the truth as it is. So many men and women too prefer such ‘things’ to remain hidden and buried because having to face the truth of many men’s utter callousness and hatred would utterly destroy their ’safe and secure’ worlds.

Yes you survived and all I can say is those men who called you those terrible names should look in the mirror and see they are the whores and sluts not you or other women.
