Hi Joe, I too have just read cry silent tears which i bought just by chance and am so glad i did. It was so good you left your website at the end of the book. it seams people of all ages have been gripped by your book, I myself have reached 50 without being affected personally,I have seen cases on the news yes, but its one of those things that "never happens to me!!" all through the book i was waiting for the chapter where someone at last took interest in what you were telling them and my hopes grew when the policeman said you were not going home, only to be dashed when the believed your brother over you. It has been such an emotional roller coaster reading the book, I want everyone to read it and then tell them not too!!.Maybe you gained the qualities of your dad which helped you to become the remarkable man you are today. I dont believe for one minute that your childhood nightmare does not still haunt you, but you have shut the door.I am with you all the way.its a bit like forest gump , you have set off walking and before you realise you have an army walking with you, take care,and much love from a mum xx

Hi Joe I am half way through reading cry myself to sleep, what a journey you went through, I cant put the book down It is tragic that there are people so cruel and use children as a source of getting such wicked thrills!
I was abused by my dad on one occasion that was 12 years ago I cant get my head round why he done it.
I think about getting in touch with him purely because half of me says I can forgive him, but then reality kicks in and I cant do it!
I made a lot of mistakes in my life due to I never had role models my dad was an alcaholic and I never seen my mum, I have 2 children I try to give them what I can, they are loving happy kids
All the best Joe i will keep an eye on any new books
Regards
Maddy

After finishing Cry Silent Tears I ran to my son's room and hugged and kissed him. Telling him how much I love him and telling him that I will always take care of him.. Perspective is wonderful thing. Thank you for sharing your life. Is Cry Myself to Sleep available to purchase in the USA. I cannot seem to find it anywhere.
Thanks you and God Bless

Hi Joe,
I finished your book "cry silent tears" a couple of days ago and I can't get it out of my head. In fact, I had to put the book down many times because I couldn't take it. I also had to skip a couple of chapters because I was so upset that a little boy had to grow up that way. I have been so fortunate in my sheltered life. I wonder if your mum or any of her cronies ever got caught. If not here, God will judge them. Hope this fins you and yours well. May God bless you. Joan

Hi Joe,
I just want to say that I have just bought your book and I was totally astonished with it! I have read many books about child abuse and I must say with true honesty yours was the most shocking. As I read I just had to read on and on I find it heartbreaking the things a mother could do to a child and as the lifelong saying goes "what if." Your father would be so so proud of you right now with how you hve turned your whole life around. I am deeply astounded by how the system treat you no matter what you did nothing came of your trying and although some people may disagree I am glad you decided to leave the past behind and press no charges. Although as you say it would be lovely to see these people serve justice I really think that your children are a lot lot lot more important and knowing what a fantastic mother and father they have is a good enough ending for anybody to read. These people don't deserve the time of day never mind the memories you would have to rake up to serve justice. Justice has been done in that you have moved on with your life and done yourself and your wife and children proud. I want to thank you for writing this book I know it must have been hard but no matter how hard it is to write or for people to read these things happen and I hope it gives people the courage to follow in your steps and change their lives for the better. Good luck in your future. Many best wishes, Sarah x

hi i would like to say how breave you are and were it is shocking that the justice system never worked for you. I had a lot happen to me when i was a child ive hardly talked about it tried to hide it the trouble is children are innvisable to most people nobody listens when you are a child. When i was 15 i watched a fried od on drugs not one person help or bothered to find out why. Nobody helped me but it was the 80's and i guess there wasnt much training then. Well done for coming out the otherside a allright person the book had me crying im really sorry all that happened to you and not even the school bothered to notice. This happen all the time behind closed doors and all that can be done is to teach people like to teachers what to look out for and to help and spot that quite or viloent children there is something wrong with them x You have inspired me to maybe write my own

hello Joe,
i read cry silent tears and was amazed by your life story!
so when i saw cry myself to sleep in the shops i had to buy it :D.
I've read alot of books and the others seem to be kind of the same but your is totally different!
i respect you alot for even managing to right a book about your life.
true as i may say the best part was when you was escaping from the mental homes though.
You're a role model for those who cannot go out and tell their story.
Your mother...if that's what you should call her! well that says it all doesn't it.
there's a slap on the wrist and then there's something else! have you ever came across your brother that helped you sometimes but then moved out of your (mum's) house? i'm crap with memory so you'll have to give me his name?
Social workers and all the rest seem to be completely rubbish these days. The thing i hear about them is that they bother family's that just have a problem child but don't bother the ones that are suspects of abusing a child. As you would know i think that YOU have became the bigger person in all of this, and through all those dark energy less nights. You didn't know that when 'the' people that done things to you. would see you successful, and getting on with you life but then there's them SCUM!.
i think you are a truly remarkable person & people will look up to you in many years to come! i can assure you that all the bad you've done within society and through society you have paid society back, because you, not anyone else. But you, have paid the community back from all that bad. Thank you if you read this.
email me back. courtney.

hello joe I've just finished reading your book. I was very touched , it all seemed so unreal :(. I just can't imagine all the pain u must have gone through . However Im glad tthat things have turned out well for u in the end and you've finally found peace and happiness. All the best for the future. Take care! Hope 2 hear from u.

Hi Joe,

I am currently reading your book and am very angry and sad that some people would do such a horrible thing to the children. It is hard to put the book down and I think about you after I read the book at nights. I admire you for being so strong and to do something about it and make people aware about the child abuse that still going on in our society behind closed doors. I was physically abused myself when I was a child but it was not that bad as you. I am very happy for you that you have a wonderful family by your side. Keep up the good work and can't wait to read your next book. you are amazing joe and i hope you are at peace with yourself. Love from Australia, vicky XOXO.
