Thank you so much for writing about your life. I've read all 4 books (Child Called It, The Lost Boy, Man Named Dave and How to Help Yourself) and I have to say that they are all great. After reading Child Called It, I try to embrace my kids with peace and love as much as possible. I'm 28 years old and single parent of two. Never in my 8 years of being a mother have I thought about doing harm to my kids in any way. Thank God for people like you that survive the worst and educate us. May God continue to Bless You and your Loved Ones.

P.S. Now I'm actually reading "A Brother's Journey" By Richard Pelzer. And am very sad that people get away with this kind of behavior.
