Hello..   About 2011 I  wrote an article for Chattanooga Times Free Press sharing my personal story of abuse .  I was my mother's surrogate.  The response came in numbers that at first alarmed but encouraged ..  I  wasn't alone..  The group of about 8-10 victims of horror stories far worse then mine came to my home at first.  As numbers increased the need for a place more central was found and weekly we met sharing but more importantly, supporting victims of sexual abuse.   To a person all said they felt nobody would believe nor accept their stories.  

            

There is a need  that our group is not unique . The necessity of being aware of the numbers of victims suggests to me, strongly, that more can and should be done. Could ACE provide a template to the local newspaper in Chattanooga, Tn.. The Times Free Press I am open to facilitating another local group. By the way word got around to one surrounding community near Chattanooga.   We established another group in that small town.  Robert Broos

My goal is to reestablish either an online or group of survivors that have experienced sexual abuse when a child.. This group in Chattanooga began @2011 -2013.  Numbers varied but core group stayed intact.  Wonder if ACE as an organization could facilitate such an idea with the Chattanooga Times Free Press in Chattanooga, Tenn?   thanks  bob brooks
