I'm sorry about my posts being deleted. I don't think it will be happening again. I mentioned some very personal things in this post and it was a mistake. The person got very upset and erased all of my posts.

I shouldn't have even brought up the subject. It's just very hard because I can relate to so much of it (both as a teenager, and then unfortunately, as an adult as well). And what makes it doubly hard is that I lived very close to where this happened in Connecticut. I still do. Every time I have the misfortune of passing by the Torrington police department, my stomach turns. I know some of the lawyers involved in Tracey's case and I can tell you that Tracey's ordeal was much, much worse than what was revealed in the movie. Buck Thurman is a repulsive human being and I told him that to his face (I wanted to spit in his face too like he used to do to Tracey, but I held myself back). I know this doesn't sound very Christian of me, but I really wish he had been killed in prison. I went to the same counseling center at the same time as Tracey (in the early 1980's). To be honest, it didn't do much to help either one of us. I was a teenager then, but because of our similar circumstances, our paths have crossed many times since then. I care for her very deeply. Tracey's son is in a rehab center in the town I used to live in. It is on the same street as the battered women's shelter and the domestic violence/rape counseling center. I know the administrators who oversee all of these places and they're really great women. I'm glad that her son's in a good place. Tracey is a very special and very brave woman who has changed the law in CT drastically. Before the Thurman trial, things were very, very different here. It was not a great place for women to be.

Anyway, I changed my password, so I think the problem with the deletions is solved.

Nancy McKeon also came to mean a great deal to us in Connecticut. She became close to Tracey and she donated time, money and resources into ensuring that CT law enforcement abide by the Thurman Law. She appeared many times on our local news stations to talk about these issues and to advocate equal protecton under the law. I respect and admire NM very much.

This may be my last post under "Casey Novak". I've really enjoyed this board. Thanks to everyone. I may come back as "Casey" (or maybe someone else), I'm not sure. To Mike and Kelly, Jodi's phone number seems to have disappeared from my fridge. Can you please tell her I'm thinking of her? When the phone bill comes, I can copy it down again. Please tell her I love her and I will contact her when I can. Thanks guys.

I seen this movie a few years ago and cry everytime I see it. Some parts I can barely watch. Nancy did a great job in this movie and she is one awesome person! Tracey is such a brave lady. I couldn't imangine what she went through on a daily basis with that monster. When I seen the movie I was praying her little boy wouldn't turn out like his father one day its so said to see he is following in his dads footsteps. I pray Tracey has a better life today and is safe and happy& healthy.

GREAT PICS...UNFORTUNATELY, I GUESS.

Dan Rather did an interview with Tracey Thurman in 1988 on 48 hours to ask Tracey how she felt of her ex-husband possible release from jail in 1990. My mamaw has this on tape. I wish I could find it. I remember them showing a picture of Buck: wow he is one scary and ugly looking man. There is also a book called Getting Away with Murder: Weapons for the War Against Dometic Violence which in the first chapter talks about Tracey and Charles.

In my Social Policy class I am doing a paper and presentation on domestic violent laws and the majority of my paper is about Tracey Thurman and how she had a major part in changing the laws of domestic violence. She is one corageous woman.
