I AM ABSOLUTELY AMAZED AT THE SHAWN HORNEBACK STORY. HIS YOUNG MAN IN MY BOOK IS A SURVIVOR IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD. I THINK HOWEVER PEOPLE WHO HAVE JUDGED HIS ACTIONS AND CONDUCT REGARDING VARIOUS OPPORTUNITIES HE HAD TO "ESCAPE" HIS CAPTOR SHOULD BE ABSOLUTELY ASHAMED OF THEMSELF. AS SHAWN SO ELOQUENTLY STATED THAT NO ONE CAN EVER EVER EVER JUDGED HIM FOR NO ONE WAS IN HIS SHOES BUT HIMSELF. HE LIVED THOSE 41/2 YEARS HELD HOSTAGED AND IMPRISONED AND HAD TO DEAL IN HIS OWN WAY WITH THE DAILY SEXUAL ABUSE FROM HIS CAPTOR. I AM SO SO AMAZED AT HUMAN BEINGS SOMETIMES AND HOW THEIR THOUGHT PROCESSES COME ABOUT OR EVEN WHAT THEY ARE BASED FROM.

AS AMAZING AS SHAWN IS I KNOW FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE THAT TRAUMA IS A PROFOUNDLY CHALLENGING EXPERIENCE TO PROCESS. DESPITE THIS REALITY THAT MANY PEOPLE ONLY KNOW ABOUT ON AN INTELLECTUAL LEVEL, IT IS REAL AND VERY VERY RAW. I COMMEND HIM ON HIS COURAGE FOR HE INSPIRES ME AND I AM SO SO IMPRESSED WITH HIS OUTLOOK AND HIS ABILITY TO GIVE HIMSELF SUPPORT. IT IS CLEARLY EVIDENT THAT HE HAS INCREDIBLE SUPPORT FROM HIS LOVING FAMILY.

I SEND HIM A BIG BIG HUG AND BIG KISS FROM SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THE RAW AND VERY REAL REALITY OF TRAUMA AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE. MY EXPERIENCES WAS NOT OF KIDNAPPING AND ABDUCTION I CAN RELATE TO BEING CAPTIVE TO SOMEONE'S RAGE AND SICK SEXUAL DESIRES.

MY HEART IS WITH THIS COURAGEOUS AND STRONG FAMILY WHO HAS A LOVING AND SUPPORTIVE INCLINATION. GOD BLESS YOU AND THE SPIRIT OF LOVE ALWAYS KEEP YOU SAFE FROM THOSE WHOSE INTENT IS TO HARM OTHERS.
