Society affects me personally, if it doesnt for you, then you wouldn't understand.

I seriously take exception to that statement, Darrel. What makes you think that I couldn't understand?? Granted, it's pushing one great big "start" button on an old tape that is saying "You're too stupid to understand even if I explained it to you!" It feels as if you don't have the time nor the inclination to give some examples of what you are trying to convey because you'd be wasting your time doing it. It's an afront to the intelligence and understanding I have. How dare you assume that I have absolutely no burden for the injustices and wrongs in society?? If I didn't, I wouldn't be working so hard on writing my book! You think that if it should get published that it might not change some parents attitudes on how they treat their children? Child abuse is more prevalent in society now than it ever has been. It's an injustice to children, the hope for our tomorrows!

If I don't work on myself and the damage that the abuse I received as a child, how can I truthfully and sincerely express what I have learned from it??

I'll hold on to the rest that I have to say until we get through this misunderstanding and clear up a couple of other things, ok?
