This website is dedicated to my dearest friend, Justin “David” Glenn Smith, and all those who are processing the effects of the abuse that happened when they were children.

I have read many books on overcoming fear, learning to trust, learning to love and many other subjects which will assist my friend in becoming the man he was meant to be.

Justin has chosen to go down the “Road Less Traveled.” This is a very difficult but brave and courageous mission to undertake. Through these difficult times in his life he will experience pain beyond words, and tremendous hurt, as only those who have been down this “road” encounter.

He will also feel the embarrassment and shame of having to disclose this dark time in his life to many people, in order for the healing to take place. Deciding to heal from these wounds of childhood so long ago, requires more courage and determination then many of us could imagine, or perhaps more then many of us will ever know. But through all of this, he will emerge a stronger, wiser, more self-confident man, more then he ever thought possible. And for the first time in his life he will be free, free to give love, free to receive love, and he will come to know the wonderful joy that comes from giving love one to another, as was meant for all of God’s children.

It is my hope that these chapters will be a great asset to Justin and one day help others who are in great pain and despair, as is my friend.

It is with great pleasure and honor that I undertake this responsibility to help my dear friend Justin. It is our hope that this web site will assist the “partners” or family members who are assisting their loved ones down this “Road Less Traveled.”

With Love and Deepest Affection,
Karin J. Smith
