I don’t think so you have written a more important piece. 1 in 6 men have been sexually abused. Very few find the strength and courage to walk through the shame of it. The cost to themselves and those they love and can’t help but abuse is incalculable. I work with broken men and the families they in turn break for a living. I can’t thank you enough for turning a light on some of the cost. If only one man finds the courage to say, “this happened to me...” because of your words, you will have made a change in the world that will affect hundreds. Over generations. So, thank you.

Such a sad ending to what seemed to be a really good man. He seemed to have so much going for him but alas those demons and the ugliness he was exposed to.

Thanks so much for keeping the human voice in your column no matter how painful some are. Keep writing. John.
