February 2023
Dear people,
After a long period of radio silence, we are pleased to bring you an update from Friends of Esthers and its websites. We update you on what's new on the sites and briefly address the final report of commission Hendriks. In a separate post, you will find more about this report, political entanglements and an appeal.
What's new on Lichtopsrm.com?
Esther, after years of very intensive trauma processing, has integrated all her personality parts! About this intense process, she wrote the article integration written. This means that there are no longer multiple personality parts leading 'separate' lives and between whom are memory walls. She has become one person, and therefore no longer has DIS (Dissociative Identity Disorder). However, she does (still) have a complex form of PostTraumaticStressDisorder (complex PTSD). She and we sincerely hope that her process will be a sign of hope for other survivors as well as their helpers. Her treatment continues, but so does Esther!
During the period when Esther was working hard on what turned out to be the final part of her integration process, her partner wrote If love is letting go, Also on this site is the response from the group of 20 mental health practitioners on the Hendriks Committee's final report. More on that later in this letter, especially in the annex. In addition, a article with truth check about the Hendriks Commission's remarkable statements that in Germany, about half of the victims of organised sadistic abuse manage to get out of the network, many even without help. Is this really the case?
What's new on Lichtoplevens.co.uk?
This relatively new website aims to inform a wider audience about satanic ritual abuse (srm) and urge survivors of srm to help. We envisage an 'army of ordinary people' that will stand up and get involved in many ways. So that survivors feel supported and have the courage - with help - to free themselves from the horrible slavery of body, soul and spirit that srm entails. Helpers are now regularly registering to be able to help those who have applied for help. We are very happy about that! At the same time, more people with warm hearts and helping hands are needed, and more financial resources.
Several blogs appeared from helpers, prayers, a practitioner and from Esther. Among other things, these blogs show that 'ordinary people' can make a difference!
Finally, new contributors to 'Friends of Esthers', Werner and Myrjam de Jonge introduce themselves here for. We are very happy with their input!
Hendriks committee report and politics
The final report of the Commission investigating 'organised sadistic sexual abuse of children' since April 2021 was released on 21 December last - on literally the darkest day of the year.
Our main objection has always been that the committee was not independent, that many survivors dared not speak up as a result and that the outcome of the enquiry would therefore be seriously flawed and biased. As far as we are concerned, the result is unfortunately entirely in line with this expectation. Read in the latest news release dated 24 February 2023 on the site lightopsrm more about this underwhelming report and the state of politics. In it, also an urgent call to make your voice heard by writing your own mail, and handouts on how to do so.
Finally, we would appreciate it if you could Lichtoplevens.co.uk want to make it widely known. It is a pleasantly designed site, with accessible information about srm and opportunities to contribute with your own heart and hands to exit processes of survivors or tasks related to them.
Many thanks for your support in any form!
With warm regards,
On behalf of the team Friends of Esthers
