The painful memories of a childhood wrought with abuse cannot be erased. But, the moment you start to believe you are not worthless and you are lovable the memories will pale allowing you to fully participate in life. The purpose of my website is to bring understanding.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThe greater tragedy than your bad childhood is that you would continue to let it ruin the rest of your life.\u201d \u2013<\/span><\/i> Pastor Stanley C. Murdoch<\/b><\/p>

Lynda Long\u2019s story is a must for those who desire to understand the complexities of life. It\u2019s the story of a family and the secrets of a family. It\u2019s the story of unintended consequences on children. It\u2019s the story of hope through it all! Hope and healing is possible –<\/span>Pastor Stanley C. Murdoch\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

Lynda Long visited YRTC, the Nebraska correctional institute for teenage boys, located in Kearney, Nebraska, to share her story with the youths who are sent there by the court system.\u00a0 Her story was very intriguing and was well received by these youths, and myself. –<\/span>Pastor Marvin Valdois<\/b><\/p>

Unfortunately dysfunction in families leads to further dysfunction. Abuse breeds abuse and often results in a ripple effect that replicates itself over and over again. Lynda Long\u2019s story provides stark insight into the damage that an abusive parent can inflict upon children. –<\/span>Tom Osborne<\/b>, co- founder of <\/span>Teammates of Nebraska<\/b> and former head football coach, <\/span>University of Nebraska at Lincoln<\/b><\/p>

Over the years, I have worked with them professionally \u2013 the teens and young adults who have tried, thought compulsively about, or committed heinous crimes. \u201dHow did this come about?\u201d counselors and therapists unendingly ask. And time and time again they receive the same agonized answer from the perpetrator.\u00a0 \u201cI don\u2019t know! I hate feeling this rage…But I can\u2019t help it.\u201d\u00a0 Learn to spot child abuse, be moved to action and lives may be saved. –<\/span>Foster W.
