I’m wiping away tears and struggling to find words to tell you how I wish you never experienced this. I’m so impressed by your subsequent life journey and your love and compassion.

You know, I survived and I am okay. All of our experiences make us who we are, and I believe that this taught me volumes about compassion. I don’t know how you did it, Mom, but you are my shero. ❤️

Margot, I can't even pretend to understand the degree of humiliation that you endured. That straight out therapy session shit ! It may seem trite, I think you will agree, it made you the strong independent person that you have become. More people should read this very personal saga and learn from it.

Thank you!

It’s so long ago and I’ve done a lot of work since, but ultimately I think having been through these things made me more compassionate. Tenacious, yes, but also a believer in the transformative power of kindness.
