I have been reading some of the stories of the members here. It is very similar to SNT(Survivors-N-Thrivers)
SNT was begun as a result of my search for information or a way to help my son. As a result I connected with many women that were victims and had become Survivors of abuse,emotional, physical and sexual abuse.

Our family nightmare began with a predator pastor,one that destroyed my son's marriage while abusing his pastoral counseling role. This began a nightmare journey of five years and landed at the MN Supreme Court,with my son winnng a unaniamous verdict ,changing the laws of MN that dealt with this issue.
I was extremely proud of his tenacity and determination that there be consequences for men like this and those that employ them knowing their past behavior.

SNT has been scaled back for the moment but is still a part of our new website,MyGrandCentralStation. All conversations at this point are hidden from the viewing of lurkers. Only those that are approved members may read and post. Sometimes it is a little easier to be frank if you know the whole internet world can't read.

I was strcuk by "help others live,survive and thrive". Sounded very much like SNT

It takes courage to confront the feelings of being taken advantage of. Next is the courage to want to change the system and have others benefit in the future. There are no words to say thank you for many other children and young adults.

You have much to be proud of your son. to go to court and to expose..does mean willingness to give a personal exposure to a personal portion of life. Most people aren't that willing to go that far (ie. to state Supreme court..).

to assist in changing law, is even better. Obviously the legal world...saw something here...

This is a win not only for your son, for you, and for your family, but also for humanity. Please congratulate your son for caring enough about others to put himself through this nightmare. He is a good decent man and a true survivor. My thoughts are with you and your son. Thank you.

It took a lot of courage to do what your son did. I admire you for raising him that way. Hats off to you and your son.
