Another Mother's Open Response to Dylan Farrow's NY Times Op Ed on Surviving  Woody Allen's serial abuse:

I believe you, Dylan.  Thank you for your courage.  I am glad that your mother overcame the trance of incest that so often prevails in predatory households and that she has become your supporter - I would expect no less of her.  I am glad that you are calling out those who should have been your protectors but chose to remain silent - there is power and healing in that action.  Please know that there is abundant love and support out there for all survivors-we are working hard at www.healingincest.org. 
All survivors take heart when they witness your reclamation of your human rights.  I intend to boycott all of the perpetrator's works from this day forward.  I hope others will join me. 
with love and hope,
 Another Mother
