Here are some of the lovely email comments I've received regarding Aphrodite Wounded - shameless self-promotion I know, but there ya go. These words tell me that my hopes of helping survivors feel less isolated are being realised, and that feels very very good!
 "...beaming at how wonderful a resource it will be for so many women".
" Your site is beautiful"
"I think you contribute to such an extent to women's healing".
"Your website has been a source of information and comfort to me, validating what I already knew intellectually to be true from my own training, but emotionally could not accept. As you are well-aware, there is little information on partner-rape available, so what you had to say was especially cherished by me.I plan to return to your site over and over as I begin my journey to healing".
"I was cruising the web looking for even just a bit of help with this issue today and there you were and I really want to thank you for having your page there for me to read".
"Thank you for taking the time to tell your story and give your subjects of inspiration and suggestions for healing. I will pass your website on to my therapist!!"
"This morning I was searching for the music to Cry Little Sister and my search brought me to your website. I like to think it was some sort of divine intervention, because visiting your site was truly what I needed.I want to thank you for putting together such a comprehensive and sensitive site. To find your site, to read it (and I think I read just about every page and many of the links today), validated my experiences and has given me courage. I think I am finally able to get counselling".
"I appreciate you putting up a site with new information about abuse issues. I found information on your site that I did not find elsewhere".
"...thank you for building a wonderful site." "You should know that many of the sources that are cited on your page are from texts that are required at the master's level university - beyond that, it's the FIRST comprehensive resource I've found on the topic (and trust me, I'm invested in looking!)".
"I just wanted to thank you for a terrific web site ... I've been looking for information for months on relationship rape and couldn't find anything then I got lucky and stumbled upon your site finally ... it's very informative and supportive. I'm glad that you have enough guts to tell your story and try to help other women in the same situation"
"I just finished reading your website. In some ways I'm speechless (which doesn't happen often!). I have been struck by the lack of information specifically on partner rape, coersion, etc, and your site will prove to be a valuable resource for me. It is incredibly well written, researched and easy-to-read. As a therapist in training, I thank you on behalf of my clients".
And I can't resist sharing this mail from one of my good mates:
"Hi hon - just thought I would let you know that today we had our research meeting for our project and one of the girls came across your website. She is a survivor but I hadn't mentioned it to her and she didn't know that I knew you. She absolutly raved about it - insisted that the whole group had a look at as it was so brilliant.Of course then I played friend to the stars and said 'actually I know the woman who wrote that web site and she's amazing' ! So there you go - a complety unbiased view on your work and it is seen as fantastic (and ya made me look good lol) Anyway just thought that you might like to know that :)
To all who write me with such comments, it's a real honour to have been able to have assisted you in some way. It's also true that you have validated me and aided my healing, and for that, I owe you many thanks. You rock, people, and don't you forget it.
