Maybe she's suing because she's been called everything from a liar to
mentally unstable. She's received threats of bodily harm, has to live in hiding, and might be unemployable. As far as her suing the alleged abusers, perhaps there is a statute of limitation, and/or a he/she said situation. It's almost as bad as Afghanistan, when a woman is raped, by their law, without witnesses to her rape she is severely punished for "lying" about her (poor) rapist. Yep, Nancy was taken to the stadium of public opinion, and further tortured, in my opinion.

Mame, thank you for posting the letters. I also read your Mother's Day letter yesterday for the first time. You have my utmost respect for trying to help an abused woman. I also understand why others would try to protect the accused. I think Nancy, like anyone else, could be wrong on names, faces, dates, or places, but I think she spoke her truth quitely, as she knows it. My first instinct was that she was "a victim" and after hearing your interview with "Briget" I was convinced she was telling the truth. "Somebody" abused her from an early age to the time she came forward, but "whom" I don't know.

I didn't know for a looong time what her name was, or whom she was accusing, and in fact, thought at first she may have been referring to the Mc's.
