This helps me very much as I write my memoir about surviving childhood sexual abuse, human trafficking. The more we tell our survival stories the more we help others avoid such abuse. It also helps our loved ones gain insight and empathy. You are a hero for writing this book!

After hearing this, i just want to say that I am also writing my memoir. I'm lucky to have never been sexually abused, but I suspect my father was. It showed up in his destruction of my mother. I didn't clue into the idea that he might have been abused until I read how many hundreds of thousands of pied pipers in england were abused after they inundated therapists 40 years after the 2nd world war. These children were sent to live with other families outside London to save them from the Blitz. Many were sexually abused and used as child laborers. The fact that they inundated therapists after the 40 year mark is remarkable, and shows how shame and guilt are culprits. So Gil, you are a force that men need to read about. Thank you again.

Thank you for sharing your comments. Yes, some of the children who were saved from the blitz were sent to terrible situations. It is sometimes easier to understand behaviors that are negative and hurtful if we are aware of what they are rooted in.

Thank you, Gil and Brenda, for this insightful interview. I'm about halfway through reading your book Gil. I am deeply moved by the courage you've shown in bringing to light a topic that most avoid talking about, let alone writing about. I’m also impressed with your craftsmanship as a writer. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet you at one of Brenda’s courses. It's been a pleasure to delve into your work, and I wish you all the best with your future endeavors. May your book continue to inspire and provoke thought long after the final pages are turned.
