We promise…

1.  To tell our story.

You can choose who you tell it to, preferably in the safety and privacy of a Lamplighter Chapter.

2. To uncover and validate the truth of family secrets.

This may take awhile but you can do it at your own speed, when you’re ready and feel comfortable. You may never be able to get at the truth of everything but just working towards finding out what you can, helps.

3. To understand and accept what has happened.

This too will take time. Working a REPAIR program will help. Read the rest of this entry »

While these courageous people are not actual Lamplighters or Lamplighter Facilitators, they are fighting the “good fight” in our war against child sexual abuse, incest, domestic violence, rape and sexual assault. We applaud them, we honor them. We are enormously grateful for their contribution to this world wide epidemic. Therefore we induct them into our Honorary Lamplighter Hall of Fame.
