    Looking at it I thought it was incredibly enlightening. I value you taking the time and energy to place this article together. Just as before I discover myself spending far too enough time both studying as well as writing comments. However so what, it was even now of great benefit!Self Esteem Affirmations

    I applaud your triumph over unfortunate circumstances and your courage to speak about it. It may encourage others to speak up before it is too late or to overcome as you have. You are God's child and you are worthy.

    I am back to this powerful lens, this time to *Bless* it. Amazing the journey some of us end up on, and I want to thank you for not just sharing this (probably said that before) but for being who you are :)

    Kat, I found this lens through MiMi's Lens Review blog. I can't believe I've never seen it before and I'm so sorry I missed it. There are entirely too many people who go through this. Your story hit home so very deeply. I have lensrolled it to my "Self Worth and the Abused" lens. ~Blessed by a Squid Angel~ May the rest of your life be blessed with people who are worthy of your love. Please know that you are a very special person to me.

    So sorry you had to endure that! No one deserves it, and you didn't either. May the rest of your life be free.

    Thank you for telling your story. It is always my hope when I read lenses like this, that someone somewhere will read it, and find the courage to start life all over again. You have done a magnificent job of telling a horrific story. Blessed.

    A huge, warm, and loving hug to that little girl.

    This must have been difficult to write, and more difficult to hit the 'publish' button on. Yet your words are powerful and strong, and likely to help many. Thank you for sharing so much about yourself. (Blessed)

    I'm moved to tears, thank you for sharing. I know this must have been difficult, but I know it can help others.

    It's just so sad that it's more common than people think.

    This was wonderful. I was not surprised when your first artwork echoed the stance of the artwork I made for my lens "The Jealous Abuse -" we huddle against the pain. But I love best how the artwork unfolded with the healing. I have lensrolled this...
  • KathyMcGraw Sep 9, 2009 @ 12:53 pm | delete
    Katherine- You already know my feelings on what you've written here. The graphics, and your description of the transparent girl were the icing on the cake of a well told story. Your story, as heartbreaking as it is.

    So true that there were ones before, and there will be ones after. But everytime someone shares, and gives the guilt back as you said.........one more person can either heal, or prevent another child from having a Neon Light in the first place.

    This is about the only time I wished I was an Angel.....to bless this lens, and you with it!

    This is a Five Star Lens. I am lensrolling it to http://www.squidoo.com/lensmaster/the-fight-against-child-abuse just as soon as this new lens of mine is appearing on my list :)

    Thank you for creating the page.

    This has to be one of the most powerful and sad lenses I have ever read. Thank you for sharing - I am sure what you write will help other people.

    SquidAngel Blessings for you.

    Well, done Katherine!
  • ajgodinho Jul 26, 2009 @ 2:25 pm | delete
    That took a lot of courage and guts to share and I commend you for that. I'm just so saddened by so many real-life stories that I've read in this past week and I can pray for healing in all who are affected. I'm sure this will touch many, so thanks for gathering the courage to do so and I can praise God that you're alive and moving forward with confidence! It's been a real pleasure knowing you!

    Thank you for this lens. I'm not ready to write anything like this yet but I can relate, and I admire your courage in sharing it. I hope I am able to make a similar lens about my own experiences some time in the future.

    You are far braver in writing about this than I am. Too many thoughts in my head, and none are adequate in words...

    Lensrolled to my foster child lens.

    So saddened by this story and so impressed with your courage in telling it.

    I started crying in the introduction. Your yellow sticky note - Signs: "Abused children give off clear signs which other abusers pick up on." Abused adults give off these signs also. That is why we seem to always pick the wrong person. Or someone does some unthinkable thing to us.
