ABUSE POST MEANT TO BE SALON!
Sun, 08/26/2007 - 11:16pm
Wow! That salon set off a fire storm, I have gotten 40 personal, long emails from women with the same type of tale. Most of their stories were actually a lot worse then mine.
The worst part? A bunch of the emails say I am the only one they've ever told.
I will keep the posts about make-up but sometimes if I think there's an issue the needs to be talked about then I'm known to be quite vocal.
Thank you to all the women that shared their stories with me and for the ones that haven't told anyone-you should.
Love,
Meg

What a horrible experience Meg, I am glad you had the courage to run and get help. It is a terrifying thought that this man could still have any access to schools even after convicted with 28 cases of sexual assault! What a nightmare to face him again, Greenie must definitely be your guardian angel. God has protected me and given me strength at times when I have desperately needed it. And having 5 daughters, my Mother Bear instincts keep me on the lookout and paranoid out the wazoo. The thought of something like this ever happening to them, GRRRR!!!... thanks for sharing Meg, I am so sorry for your sad experiences.
Meg, you kick ass.

Thank-you to everyone that wrote me! I think that it's just important to watch for strange behavior in your childrenand a big mistake would be to think that (like church) everyone is on the up and up. There are sexual predators everywhere. I'm fine and sometimesthe memory will creep up on me but I think because I don't bury it it does a lot of less harm. Lastly, for the womenthat wrote they were too ashamed to tell their family or husband or friends, please don't be. I would never force anyoneto out themselves to an audience. I can just say if you don't handle your issues then your issues have a better chanceat getting a handle on you. Talk to your inner circle. I bet they'll surprise you. I was surprised at how many of myinner circle had a similar story.
Oh Meg, You have me in tears. I am so sorry that this happened to you. It is so brave of you to share it with us. The amount of children who are sexually abused is staggering and the only way we can help it is to talk about it. I know where you are coming from. I'm glad that you had Greenie to help you through your situation. She is a beautiful soul and God sent her to you. Thank you for sharing. I'm sorry that monster took away your innocence. Hopefully he's in Jail by now(seeing that he most likely continued with his sick ways) and some huge man is taking him as his girlfriend. Karma's a bi*ch!We love you.
Where is the abuse post???? I can't find him.
I do remember that Meg. And I am still so sorry that bastard did that to you, andall the other little girls. SICK! Makes my tummy turn. I love you, and youhave always been such a wonderful support to me as well. Last night I wason my way home from my Grampys b-day party and I heard our song, "I'llstand by you" on the radio, my eyes welled up as I listened to itthinking of all the times you have stood up for me, or beside me. I was needing a friend, and feeling sad. I didn't even know about this post yet, and I was telling Kerry about you and how muchyou were there for me when I was little. It is so strange and cool that you were going to write this post a little while after that. We are connected ~ always! I should have ripped that guys balls off so he could never scare youor anyone again. So many women have been hurt with sexual abuse, it is sick. My Mom is one of them too. We all need to stand together to fight off these sicko's.
I’m a former kindergarten teacher and reading your story really breaks my heart. A school should be one of the safest places for a child to be surrounded by educators who you can trust...especially in elementary school. My son starts school next fall and I’m already having the normal anxiety. I never thought about worrying about someone abusing him at school. These sickos are everywhere. I can’t tell you how many sexual predators I have living within a few miles of my house...and I live in a great neighborhood. If you have children I highly recommend this website. It is run by John Walsh. It is the Nat’l Sex Offender Database. http://www.familywatchdog.us/ Meg, you are one strong woman with some wonderful friends. Thank you for sharing your story!!
I work with children in the court system every day and I am still amazed at the courage they show in their lives!
