There is that risk of course. If you are prepared to take it, then write…. and change names

How do you write about these happenings…and not get sued?

Thank you for responding.

Reading about your life story gave me the strength and courage to actually brainstorm and write about my life as an emotionally abused woman. I have a story to tell and I hope I can put out there for other women like me to read and know that they are not alone. I would love to work with you in editing my story that is if you do that. Please write me and I will be the happiest to just get a response from you.

I’m disappointed (but not surprised, I suppose) that there are no male comments here. I’ve recently decided to write about my experiences too and although I’m at an early stage, I haven’t found it to be cathartic in any way. If anything, it has brought memories, which had settled in the silt of the mind, stirring to the surface. That’s caused sleepless nights and other things. I’m sure it’ll be the right thing to do, but I guess everyone’s experience is different.

Sorry to hear about your birth family disowning you; not sure what mine would make of it, but I don’t care – it’s not them who went through this (nor is it them still trying to “sort it out”).

Best,

Tony.

I have wanted to write a book on my horrendous abuse that has wrecked my life completely. I have not known how to start and have not had the time due to surviving. Could you please contact me as at this moment I am going to start writing because of you. Yours Sincerely Katrina

Hi Judith,

It’s great that writing a book about abuse has helped you to move on I was thinking about doing the same thing but I’m not so sure I want to tell the whole world what I went through just yet but I really think it will help me too because I have been through so many incidents since I was a child that no-one really knows about because I was shy in my youth, but it’s great to see it work well for you.
