As I read through all of the entries, I kept wondering how a small town of 2500 people could not, or chose not to, see the obvious.
The creator of the blog is the eldest of 12 children (2nd eldest if you consider the death of his brother when he was one year old). My heart went out to him, and yet I was proud that he was pursuing his disclosure of the (alleged) abuse despite all odds against him.
Then I realized the true ‘crux’ of this article. The internet provides immediate therapy for those of us who are aching from within. The internet has allowed all of us a voice, especially in times where newspapers and media are only interested in the story of the day. You won’t see familial discord on the front page, unless, of course, there has been bloodshed. Although this family has suffered, albeit in silence, anger and shame, the internet has allowed Byron Prior a public forum. Even if he is never provided with closure (in the form of public and governmental acknowledgment) he is provided with an empathic audience - all because of blogs, websites, etc. All the power to him and I hope he can finally have resolution and put these demons to rest once and for all.
As for his mother, I can only shake my head and wonder... a born sociopath, or a ‘made’ sociopath (which you will understand if you read the blog). Either way, she is responsible for destroying numerous lives and probably refuses to take responsibility for any of them. She and her fellow ‘companions’ are despicable and I ask you to decide for yourselves the seriousness of her actions.
Perhaps even email Byron a note of acknowledgment; he has been heard. By the way Byron, Happy Birthday on July 29th - maybe by age 52 something good will come your way.
