Mark reponds to your questions:
I don't fully understand why the length of my disease of alcoholism is so important but I started drinking at 16 and quit 11 years ago. I am 54 . As to how I got sober , again I don't understand the importance. But it was a combination of SMART recovery, a therapist and Behavioral therapy. As for latent memories I think some people misunderstand. I remembered the whole thing I just didn't know the name of the man for the longest time. I never told my parents or anyone for that matter because I believed it was my sin or fault. As for recognizing Leo it was late last year when I saw the photos and was directed to the web site that dealt with him, Chitty, and Chapman. It was instant recognition when I saw his face. I am still in therapy for my PTSD, anxiety and panic, and my horrific nightmares. Marco
