I am glad you read this story with your daughter. It is with great relief that I know you were with your child when she read it. It is with a full heart when I read what you write about her response. My feelings about coming out of hiding and speaking to help others up has taken me on the most profound journey. Thank you again. Please send my hello's to your daughter and tell her I am well and happy now with children. My son, Andreas, is 13, as well. Maybe there will be a day all of our children do take into consideration who they are letting into their hearts. When we have educated them to do this we will have succeeded in protecting them from this kind of harm. I would like to send your and your daughter a cd so she can see that there is light after the storm. If that is ok please email me and let me know where you would like me to send it. Again, thank you. Kathryn Keats after the silence Thank you so much for writing to me. I am glad you read this story with your daughter.

I realize there is no father to call me Ellen. How I yearn to hear that from his voice. My connection with the ability to integrate my experience is more difficult without the one person who called me Ellen. It never had that odd feeling it has when others call me that. I was his Ellen. My Dad made me feel like everything was going to be alright. And you know what? He was correct. Everything is going to be just fine. I love you, Daddy. Ellen I just read this.

My father passed in August and I had the good fortune to be by his side. I miss him so much. I have been working ever since to continue reclaiming my life. Joy, I have young kids. I want to say to you that I am so very happy you have been there for your son! What an incredible success. I cannot imagine,my children born after my experience, having a child while with the man who was so very ill who almost took my life. You are a hero, Joy. You really are! I hope the nightmares leave you. I have been having some too but only a few.I try to change the lighting in the house when I wake up from one. That seems to help. I am a little afraid at times to actually be taking the steps to grab hold of the rest of my life and stand up and say "Thsi is my life and I will MAKE it a great one with the help of my family and friends and this fantastic website and God. My heart is with you and again i am sorry it took me sooo long. I really am, Joy. Kathryn Keats Joy,

What a wonderful thing to hear from you. You are correct in expressing how wonderful my mother, that profound and inspirational teacher was. We were all so lucky to have her. I wanted to tell you, as well, that Mark Monroe and I are still, to this day, working together. Oh what a good day it is to have heard from you. We have to talk!

Her mother was my English teacher in Indiana. She saved my life with her kindnes and encouragement. Ellen, do you remember visiting in the bus station in Tennessee. I was on the way back to the Army and you were heading to New York. I always remember your talent from musicals and such in High School. You and I have a lot in common. It's been a long journey for me to find myself and heal from the past as well. Godspeed dear friend. I think I went to school with Ellen. Her mother was my English teacher in Indiana.
