Questions about Laurie and her famiy
Please note that this author chooses to maintain a small amount of privacy. Family member
names will not be revealed to anyone. If you happen to be a family friend please respect the
author and her family's privacy and do not reveal those names to those who do not know the
family. If you happen to recognize Laurie's father as your abuser, feel free to contact her, she has
great empahty for you, but do not expect compensation from Laurie for his actions.
Since your family members are all deceased, what harm would there be in revealing their names?
My parents, grandparents, and great grandparents are all deceased, however, I still have living family
members. I have chosen to reveal my name to the general public, but will not take away the choice of my
other family members to remain private. Abuse took away too many choices in my childhood, I choose to err
on the side of freedom of choice rather than assuming something is okay for me to do when it involves
others.
