Nah, you're awesome. Thank you for the sweet comment and 'take no shit' advice. I'm generally in most ways through the worst of the healing and I've changed/broken generational patterns with my own kids, so I've made something good and I'm proud of that. Writing like this definitely brings out all the feels for me, but even with all the crying, I don't think it's a totally bad thing. It very much just makes me hurt for others, but also reminds me of how far I've come.

Thank you again for taking the time to write such a wonderful comment.
