Upon his departure, he remarked, "I am in many people’s pockets; no one will believe you." Have you ever grappled with the silence that follows sexual assault, where the perceived impossibility of being believed necessitates self-censorship?
In the meantime? FINE stands for fearful, insecure, neurotic and emotional, I'm told. Or my hair is fine. ...
Supportive vibes, Arfie. I'm on the other end. My mom may end up homeless, but at this point.... How do I care without caring myself into a deep dark hole? Yeah. No idea.
Glad you and hubs are steady as a team. My hubs and I are holding firm so far, too.
Many soft supportive thoughts to you.
