Richard, thanks for writing this. I think we all carry shame of one kind or another. My husband's sister was abused by a boarding school coach and nearly 50 years later, several of the girls came forward. Each was given a huge six-figure settlement and paid counseling sessions. I doubt that erases the shame, but it eases the soul. Good thing the bastard coach is dead or he'd be in jail. Best wishes to you, good man.

"The cleansing light of day." Exactly. Pinning the facts down on paper is healing in and of itself, but having the courage to call out the culprits is even more so. Thank you for your honesty---always.
