'You have been through an awful lot. Most of which would have sent a lesser person into a tail spin. Yet here you are, surviving, living, trying to understand, trying to work through it, trying to be the best person you can be. YOU are remarkable'.
oh yes, tallulah, and go me sniffin again. thank you i needed that.
shellcrusher,
thank you for trusting us to tell your story. I, too, grew up the way you did, (nearly) and it was dont trust, dont talk, dont tell.
You are breaking out of that, and this terrible legacy can end here.
Thank the HP for fathers like you.
