Thank you all dearly.
Yesterday was a really horrible day for us, yet here we still are. Thank you for your support, each and every one of you, including those who read but don't write for whatever reason, as is so often the case with myself.
Loveregardless, I too have a life-time of after-effects (I like that terminology) that I have either denied happening at all or have rationalised away. There is a kind of slow dawning of reality that seeps into the mind as minute pieces of a very big jigsaw puzzle are grouped into rough themes and it appears as though a pattern is starting to emerge.
As always Anderson and Fox, thank you for your openness and sharing. A few of your points anderson hit home.
And thank you for your support Starrina.
Thank you all for sharing with me. PC is my only outlet for discussing any of this (outside of T's), and yet even still it is hard to be open (as I'm sure it is for most).
Love and friendship to you all,
