I was watching the news at my internship (hey, a girl needs a break sometimes
) and someone noted that this might encourage people in similar situations to speak out and have their abuse stopped and their abuser punished. OK maybe I'm just weird, but I don't see how ANYONE would get that message when MP waited till 10 years after her abuser died to finally speak up. That fact by itself sends a huge message, one that (IMO) kind of overshadows what she's saying. A agree with Munchkin, there were several ways to use this horror to help other people and this just doesn't seem like one of them. Now, if each purchase of her book resulted in a donation to an organization that helps abused children, that'd be something that would make this more inspirational, helpful, whathaveyou.
