Thanks Peggy. Honestly, I had to take the weekend off and step away from the computer after I published it because I felt it, too. But, it also felt cathartic to tell the story and finally close that chapter for good. Thanks for reading!
Whiplash, indeed. There’s a rawness in your words here…beyond the honesty. Lots of thoughts firing in my head right now, but most importantly there’s gratitude for your gift. For your way of showing us strength and vulnerability, decisiveness and regret, resolve and reluctance… not just with the story—your story— but in the way you tell it. Many kudos, my friend. Many kudos, indeed.
Thank you Johnna, that means the world to me. I mentioned in a comment above I ended up taking the weekend away from my computer - it was a hard one to write but I feel so much better getting it out of my head and into the world. It was incredibly cathartic - this whole sharing my writing/stories adventure has been cathartic for me. Thanks for reading along and sharing your feelings with me.
So beautifully written Donna. I felt it.

Congratulations on keeping yourself safe from that point on. You deserve better, but you know this. 🤍
Thanks! Yes I do!
