AN EXTRAORDINARY ACCOUNT of intergenerational abuse from the point of view of the non-offending parent, AFTER DISCLOSURE (originally published as The Feminization of Job) includes a study guide complete with questions appropriate for use by individuals, classes, and/or discussion groups. "A rare inside look at a non-offending parent's struggle with guilt, aloneness, shame and despair, and learning how to cope with these negative emotions. Demonstrating how to build a life for the victims that have been harmed so globally by the abuse, it is a story of the triumph over people's trauma and movement of a family into recovery." Dr. Jay D. Woodman, Ph.D. Clinical and Consulting Psychology "Five Stars. An absolutely powerful story, beautifully told. Having the ability to pick this up and connect with another parent who has walked in my shoes has been an amazing source of strength for me. This is an excellent book for other parents, students, and individuals within the system who are working to protect our children. A must read." K. F., Non-Offending Parent of a Sexually Abused Child "Required reading for all the perpetrators in our program. Furthermore, I think it ought to be required reading for everyone who works with cases of child sexual abuse in any profession." John Brogden, Director, Association for Sexual Assault Prevention "This book painfully and poetically describes the two years after the author discovered that the man she fell in love with and married was a pedophile. What happens to this family after the secret is out and they start to rebuild their dreams is not only maddening but a beautiful testament to courage, love and determination." Bridgett Heil, R.N., Vanderbilt Children's Hospital "Highly recommended: A unique story of personal, ecclesial and family narratives for all whose lives have been touched by pedophilia. This book forces the reader to take seriously the possibility of the pervasive nature of evil in a postmodern world. In the depth of its theological grounding, AFTER DISCLOSURE is also appropriate for professionals who work with pedophiles - and for the abusers themselves." Rev. Peggy A. Way, Ph.D. Pastoral Care and Counseling "This is not just a story for non-offending parents. This is a story for women who just can't 'like' their ex-husbands, for men who despise their bosses, and for people who hate the way southerners drive south of DC on I-95. This is an important story." Elizabeth Wilson Jack

Heartwrenching account of a family surviving abuse,
By Bridgett (Nashville, Tn United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: After Disclosure: A Non Offending Parent Reflects on Child Sexual Abuse (Paperback)
I am one of the "children" this woman raised. She has devoted her life to caring for kids no one else wants. This book painfully and poetically describes the two years after she discovered that the man she fell in love with and married was a pedophile. The trauma caused to the nonoffending parent is an overwhelmingly underdicussed issue. What happens to this family after the secret is out and they try to rebuild their dreams is not only maddening but a beautiful testament to courage, love and determination.

Wow,
This review is from: After Disclosure: A Non Offending Parent Reflects on Child Sexual Abuse (Paperback)
I just finished this book. Wow is all I can say. I know the author of this book-and how she made it through what I call pure hell is beyond anything I could begin to imagine. She truly has had angels on her side. Her story adds a very emotional and personal feeling drawing the reader into a almost blended relation with the author. I am the Doug that she has mention-she and her children have been nothing but a blessing to our church and to me personally. If you have ever been touched by the horrors of sexual abuse, I recommend reading this book. The strength and encouragement is enough to help anyone cope.
