Ali, I'm so glad you had your journal as one safe place in your distressing family life. I felt so many "ouches" as I read this piece. I admire so much the beautiful person you've tured into despire such challenges in your childhood.

Thanks Sandra, finding those old journals was so a fusion of validation and heart break.

Thank you Carol. And thanks for working with me on it. I couldn't have written this a few years back. Isn't it wild that writing this took bravery?
