Hi Erika, I truly appreciate this and thank you for letting me know. I hope you find my book helpful. I know it is available in online libraries but likely no hard copies or paperbacks will be at the physical libraries unless someone donates a copy.

Rebecca—-I am So happy 😊that your book is soon coming out in audio format. Being mildly dyslexic I feel my most intense learning often comes from listening to the content from my car—which I usually have parked in a beautiful natural setting. I also always have a pen and notebook handy to stop the program and jot down especially meaningful messages.

I have felt resistance by others,(not just family) these past couple of years, for people to engage in conversations about family dysfunction, including therapists, but recently I’m experiencing less resistance, for whatever that’s worth.

Many thanks 🙏 for all you do and stand for ❤️.

Yes, I think the tide is slowly turning, it's amazing that Amazon will advertise anything to do with narcissistic mothers or fathers on Kindle but you put in the words 'family' and 'abuse' and you're dead to the algorithms here, on amazon, on youtube, and elsewhere. However, I felt it very important to specifically put the word 'abuse' in the term I coined based on my research, as mentioned.

Hi Rebecca, after reading about the struggle to share and publish information about FSA( which, by the way has been absolutely life altering for me in the best of ways) I can’t help but think that it’s almost like a version of being scapegoated all over again. You have the unique experience of being able to share information that not only important to you, but so important to countless others, and you have done the hard work that should bring you every success. Instead, terms that inevitably go along with the subject get you knocked down and silenced. It’s a real shame.

Im beyond grateful for you and all of the work you have done to bring FSA from the darkness to the light, and I’ll be forever grateful for the day I stumbled upon your book as that is where my healing journey began. I still have a long way to go, but finally, there has been an easing of the life long unbearable pain that I have always carried, yet never knew why.

Sending so much Love

This is beautiful, Kristen. Your kindness, insight, and compassion into my true situation means much to me, and I am also grateful to hear my research and content on FSA has helped you to move forward in your healing from this type of insidious abuse. Thank you!
