Ally,

Thank you for more beautiful, raw honesty. I’ve had my soul torn. I didn’t think I’d survive and didn’t want to because I was already dead. I’ve written my story in several responses. I found my way back to the light.

How well I understand the triggers from childhood trauma. My story is very different than yours, but the visceral reactions are the same.

It is good that we are exorcising our demons through writing. Spilling our guts on paper and liberating our souls in the process.

Very thought-provoking post Michaela. Considering the devastation and struggle that a family goes through when we put their loved ones on trial for death is vital to enhancing our systems as a society.

It sounds like David has taken a life hurdle and transformed it into a brighter message of compassion and strength. Great…

I imagine dust mites

A whole army of them

The fattest and loudest

is their General

Onward!

He commands.
