Tortured Soul's daughter posted this on Lamb's Roar. I have copied it here because she wanted to respond on her father's behalf to a question regarding his veracity. I'll let the post speak for itself.
Thank you for allowing my dad to have a place to vent.
A question was raised on another site (JWD) about my dad and here was my response to the person who told me what was questioned.
I've been in the Mental Health field (Childhood Trauma) for over 25 years "a typo, (15) its ben 17 years.
I went by the fence yesterday...cried...hung a teddy bear upon it...cried some more. Im a 60 yr old man, a survivor,and I am still crying
" I was with him at the fence and he was very angry and sad. I don't know why he said 60..maybe its not wanting to grow old "
I am 63, retired Peace Officer and now working in Mental Health (Childhood Trauma) for over 15 years. I love what I do, I am paid well, but I would probably do it for free if need be
He turned 63 on January 14 of this year, Had retired out of police work in California because he got fed up with judges and "bleeding hearts". A women he met convinced him to work with abused children and he would have worked for free as he wanted to help so much(17 years)
"Stats show that people who have been sexually abused go on to later abuse someone else."
I DOUBT if he said that. He felt that was very wrong, He said that "stats" do not prove that out.
I hope you might tell these people the above that I have written. Sad that someone would disrespect my Dad by doing that. You have my permission to ad this letter.
Again, I'd like you to know how much you've helped me personally, and like everyone here has said, your legacy will live on, and your caring spirit will be with us always.
Like Shakita, T.S., I don't really know you, but if I ever get a bit low I'll read your opening post in this here thread & I know I'll feel more positive & hopefull. Cheerio, my friend, & hoping you find peace...
