Thank you. I wrote this a year ago (or more?!) and it has taken me that long to share it. One point someone made (after reading it and trying to get my courage up to publish it) is that there’s a lot of talk in media about “something bad happened” but not much talk about “despite this, I have managed to live it with it”. She said, “I think it’s actually really important to talk about how you move on?”
My daughter is the one who finally made me push publish on this last night (alas she knows the full history, which wasn’t what I ever wanted, but… oh, long story…). Still, I spent about five hours regretting it, and feeling a little like I’d stripped naked and walked down the street.
So wise and inspirational, thank you!
