They have recently become the Heal For Life Foundation, but are doing more work and healing more lives than ever. x Hi Janet, The only thing that’s changed is their name.

I will continue to encourage suffering survivors to check it out find deeper healing and freedom, in their timing...

People keep coming to this story or contacting me at work to tell me their own stories. “Me too.”, they say. I received a beautiful card from the woman who organised my mother’s funeral in 2007. “Me, too.” I could weep. Carol Hi Tracey,

As of yesterday my abuser was sentenced to 13 1/2 years in jail with a none parole period of 11 1/2 years. It has been a long 2 years in the court system but it has also been 28 years of silence for me. Mayumarri helped me so much that I had the courage to come forward, even knowing that my abuse stopped 16 years ago, he never did. He had abused 3 other members of my family, my nieces. His 2 daughthers and another niece. It has been worth all the ups and downs that I have gone through in my life. For me now it's a chance to start a life one without fear or self blame, and hope in writing this that it does give someone the courage to come forward and report it. And if someone does, it would mean so much more than I could ever had hoped for. Thank you Mayumarri and thank you carol for giving some of us a voice instead of silence. We all need to talk about childhood abuse instead of hiding the secret. There is an article in today's age on page 14 about some of my case. If you can read it, hope it helps. There will also be one in tomorrow's age as well. I am no longer affraid and scared.. Once again THANK YOU Tracey xoxo Hi Carol,

If only I had the courage - if only. Most people, who havnt been thro childhood abuse, find it hard to understand our need. Fair enough I guess - have to have been thro it to know it. Thank you - all of you wonderful people who help others. Hugs Joan I am crying reading this – tears of joy for those helped and tears of pain for myself… If only I had the courage – if only.

Mayumarri believes in non-judgement and acceptance of all and that includes faith or a lack of. Some people find it challenging to think of the room as a chapel and that's okay. When I first arrived there i could not even walk in because it is called a chapel. A carer helped me to find another name for it that sits better with me and it made all the difference. Perhaps there is some way for you to find peace with the room regardless of what it is called too? Good luck. xxx Hi Jane

It is a better than good words fail me and so they should becaus what has happened is very good inaworld that does not understand or head, what the adult survivors all need. Aplaceto feel safe and freedom to share.. There should be more support for what is stilla taboosubject.The legal system needs a radical overhall as it does not take into account the injuries and the damage that can be done by child abuse .So many people never complain so hold the shame. Why? because it is an unfair system dealing or not dealing with the needs of the survivor.... Did not say comment waiting moderation!!
