Posted by loren on 26 August 2008 Yes, I do check and appreciate all comments although not perhaps as regularly as I should. I'm glad of the fact that a lot of young(er) folk are reading the book and maybe finding things there that make a bit of sense. It took me 30 something years to work it out. Oh to be 16 again... Thanks, Jeff Posted by on 28 August 2008  just finished book today! Hello-found it hard to put your book down! i really wanted to know how things turned out for you. Have to be honest and say I'm amazed you are still alive after all you went through!! I'm a great believer in saying that when things go bad,something good always comes out of it! i always believe people can change if they REALLY want to. My brother has been through some really terrible times, alcohol, being rejected,losing a partner through death, at times I wondered if he would survive his ordeal and it's too long to tell story on here but want to say he has gone on to meet alovely lady who has turned his life around and he too has learned to LOVE himself!! Would love to know how Rebekah is doing as she came across as an amazing lady and I truly hope she has moved on too. Good luck to you for the rest of your life!! Posted by Debbie on 12 August 2008 Thanks for all of that. Hopefully your brother will be good in the end and all will be well. Sounds promising. If there's one thing that I find heartening to come out of this is that people are finding an ability to discuss topics which have been, in the main, taboo. I live as quietly as I can these days, safer that way. And the person who is pseudonomised as Rebekah is doing just fine and dandy (or so she tells me). I will, of course, pass on your good wishes to her. Jeff Posted by on 14 August 2008 I dont usually think twice about a book once I have finished it, it goes on my shelf and collects dust, but i just have to praise you on the way you have turned your life around!! I had goosebumps all the way through and was mortified reading about the things that you had to go through! It sounds like you had every bit of bad luck out there! Its just hard to understand how some people can be so nasty, and how for example the hospital can be so neglectful when it comes to a case like yours, in and out of hospital, yet they turned a blind eye. Your rollercoaster of a book was really moving, and although there are a lot of books out of there at the moment that are all based around the same thing - child abuse/neglect turning to crime etc, 'Love Hurts' really stands out because of the fact that you didnt write it originally for publicity. Well anyway, I am really glad your book had a happy ending - you certainly deserved it! :) Posted by Jamie-Leigh on 06 August 2008 Thanks as ever for your message. It does allow me to address a few things so here goes. I don't really believe that people are, on the whole, deliberately nasty as such just generally selfish (myself included). A lot of people choose not to see what is happening to others around them someties because it can be difficult to compute and perhaps strikes close to home. It must be borne in mind that I learned to adapt and be all things to all people and in doing so became an adept manipulator and to be fair I myself chose not to be honest when people around me displayed concern - againn though that was down to my poor sense of self-worth and pitifully low self-esteem. It would be unfair and unkind of me to blame others. As for the health professionals, I am of the mind that they are severely undermanned and in thier position I woldn't go looking for more work and in the large scheme of things the NHS has done me proud. Yes, on occasion they make mistakes but that is a human failing of which we are all culpable once in a while. I think you are right, the way in which exploitation of some of the issues I have dealt with occurs can be very tiresome and clumsy if not handled properly and my motivation remains the same. If nothing else it shows a sincerity I still hold dear. I too have many dust gathering books on my many shelves, nooks, crannies and cupboards but it's nice to delve back into some old favourites once in a while. Thanks again, Take care, Jeff Posted by on 07 August 2008 I have just read your book and found it interesting because my husband suffers from events from his childhood which has affected his life, and also he has been diagnosed with bipolar but he has improved with medication. Here to you and hopefully a fullfilled life enjoy the rest of it take care net x Posted by annette on 26 July 2008 Thanks for your comments. I can only hope all goes well for your husband and with you there for him I kinda think it will be. All the very best. Cheers Jeff Posted by on 28 July 2008 thank you Dear Jeff Randall, I am a 16 year old girl and I had to tell you how much I loved your book! The things you went through where terrible and the fact that you came through it all amazed me, you have officially became my role model. You see, i was also raped two years ago. And for the past two years I have went through a rough patch, I turned to drink and drugs and i never trusted anyone again. Nobody knew what had changed me because nobody knows about my rape, so my friends started to abandon me and my family didn't know what to do with me. Once i read your book and realised that I still have a chance to change made me become sober. I have totally changed my life around and I can honestly say it is thanks to you. I felt as though i needed to contact you to make you realise how you book has helped me. Yours Thankfully, Anna Barrett Posted by Anna on 25 July 2008 Anna, I will reply in more detail via email. However, in brief you sound like you are well on the way to better days and in the vain hope of not sounding like a dull old gadge, you have youth on your side which can be employed favourably. Reclaim your sense of self and power and dont give in. It must have taken a great deal for you to comment here and for that alone you have my unequivocable admiration. Appreciated, Jeff Posted by on 28 July 2008 love hurts why? on 08 July 2008 your book on 08 July 2008 your book on 08 July 2008 how are you on 30 June 2008 the book on 29 June 2008 What a lyf on 26 June 2008 just finished your book on 26 June 2008 Your Book on 25 June 2008 read ya book on 21 June 2008 No Title on 19 June 2008 book on 11 June 2008 Falling on 27 May 2008 gingernuts on 15 April 2008 BOOK on 06 February 2008 Congratulations on 27 October 2007 Congratulations on 22 October 2007 Falling on 22 October 2007 nice on 21 October 2007 FALLING - THE BOOK on 18 October 2007 FALLING on 17 October 2007 |
