is this a bad thing?

[MakersDozn]

We immediately thought of your outside kids. Last we heard, your oldest was starting college. We were thinking of them when you came back here.

We've told you this before, but please don't underestimate the importance of the fact that you've successfully raised three kids unharmed by the abuse that you've gone through. You've broken the cycle. This is a very, very big thing.

You're also a very talented writer, artist, and designer. Who knows how many people you've inspired with your work?

We struggle with reasons to go on as well. Like you, we're safe, but sometimes just going from one moment to the next is incredibly difficult. Know that we empathize, and that we care.
