Ruthie Sellers asked Ruth Wariner:

Thank you Ruth. For showing the world that those of us abused by family are not victims, but survivors. For showing the world that yes, there are adults out there who choose NOT to believe you For proving you had to fix the situation yourself. And finally, for proving not all survivors fall prey to drugs, mental illness and prostitution. WE are the strong ones. WE survived. And WE are happy. ??

Ruth Wariner Ruthie, Congratulations and being a strong survivor and for choosing to thrive in spite of your past. I believe it's so important to know that we deserve a fabulous life and that we can grow stronger than our situations and circumstances. Understanding our own strength and ability to learn and grow keeps up from being a perpetual victim. Thank you for taking the time to read my memoir. I appreciate your kind words. ONWARD!

Anne asked Ruth Wariner:

Hi Ruth - I just reread your memoir (I originally read it in January); I found it incredibly compelling and well-written. How were you ultimately able to forgive your mother, when she repeatedly put her own unhealthy emotional needs above the needs of you and your siblings?

Cherise

Cherise asked Ruth Wariner:

Hello Ruth! I just finished your book and Im so blown away. Life gets so busy and you never actually think about how others live and things that others have to live through. Your story is incredible and sharing your story with my friends brings me to tears every time! THANK YOU for sharing your personal story with all of us! Do you ever talk to Lane's ex wives or any of your other 40 or so siblings?

Stacey

Stacey asked Ruth Wariner:

Fabulous book, I'd love to see you write a follow up. I'm curious where you are, if you feel like sharing, I know this is personal, in your religious/faith beliefs? Do you believe in God, do you attend a church? Also I'm curious if you would like to have children? I'm so sorry for everything you went through, happy you persevered.
