Please Listen to Us was written after hearing about so many survivors who had all experienced the deaf-ear syndrome not just from family and friends but from the professionals who should have picked up much earlier the symptoms and the desperate pleas of help and dealt with it. Support has always been minimalistic and still is, there is no monitoring or reassurance or screening for the survivors, and we are made to feel like we are hypochondriacs to say the least. We owe this to the families of the people who have died through lack of actions, who cannot voice what we have experienced firsthand, and Im here to share my journey.
