Dear Gretchen

Gretchen-

I am so sorry that you had to go through all of that.  It's so hard to believe. Voyeurism is very bad and I'm sure that is just as bad as any other sexual offense.  It was against your will and for his sick depraved pleasure.  My heart is with you and I do keep praying for you.  I certainly hope that this man can't continue to do what he has done.  You are a truly strong woman.   I know that you will be able to help others with this.  I know that the response to your first email was overwhelmingly compassionate.  We all love you, and I don't even know you.  

On the funny side, my name is Ingrid and many people don't remember it but they remember it's some sort of German name.  A lot of people call me Gretchen, every once in awhile Heidi. 

Anyway, I guess I'd better get some work done.  I love you and think about you often.

LOL, Ingrid.

Gretchen, I am so sorry for what has happened to you. Somewhere along the way he'll get what's coming to him. It was clearly something he thought he could get away with, but then you come to with all this gumption and determination and it scared the daylights out of him. So of course he rushed you out. Oh, I get so mad just thinking about it.What he put you through and the danger he put you in. I'm so thankful for the strength and conviction of your nature. It will definitely see you through. We need the strength and wisdom that you so unselfishly share with us. Thank you for being you! -Spiz
