About the Author

I am not a doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, counselor, nor do I hold any degree from a university in the subjects on this website.  My knowledge began with personal experience as child raised in incest and through the personal experience of child abuse orchestrated by a sibling.   What I lack in higher education, I have learned by surviving.

I am a survivor of incest and physical violence at the hands of a sibling. The experience lasted until I was nearly 14 years old.  When it began, I have no conscious memory.  The second grade is the last clear feeling of normalcy.  After that the memories of my life can be described like looking though water, rippled and distorted.  Even today, that period of time remains blurred.

Private Family Matter is a voice for those who can't speak, especially those from birth through 13 years old.  It is also for those who died, abused and tortured from their injuries, through chronic addiction or suicide.
