My dearest, dearest TPND! Your family was sick! Any sane mother would see that pain and make a better bed for you. Any sane mother would not make you do chores when you are supposed to be resting in bed. Any sane mother would not let a sibling beat you up! They were very sick! You deserved none of that!

I am glad that you worked so hard on that letter! Very Good Work! Ask Sian to reassure you that she will not tell anyone.

TPND, it is too early for you to not have pain yet. You have just begun to work on this. It will get better eventually though!

If you would feel safer ask a moderator to help you delete some of your post?????
