Tina's Story

Dearest Susan,
I came across your web site when I was trying to pull up some statistics on numbers of sexual abuse throughout the USA for a friend. I completely and totally identify with your homepage. I thought you might want to check out my web site I started in February of this year.

Father Scanlon, out of Steubenville, Ohio, laid hands on me at a mass two weeks before my father died... and this web site was a fruit of the Love he prayed for the Holy Spirit to pour out upon me. I started working on the web site that very night and everyday and night until the early morning hours of my father's death, February 15th, two weeks later. Dad died suddenly in his sleep. You see... my father sexually abused me for months when I was about 8 years old.

There are several stories and poems relating to my healing and forgiveness on the site. I also have many writings in my personal journal, that I kept for three months while I was in therapy, that might serve a purpose for other souls searching for peace and forgiveness in their lives. Please review my site and let me know if you think anything will work for your site... for I want to share the healing balm of Jesus and Mary in my life with others. God bless you and keep you safely tucked in the palm of His hand.

In Christ through Mother Mary,
Tina Sylvester
