Oh, mate. This is heavy. I'm sorry. Thank you for writing about it. I hope that your time away offers soothing and rest and healing and space for you to feel all the feelings. I also hope you get some sense of all the love being sent your way from afar.
Your comment about the lasting impacts of childhood sexual abuse resonated; despite all the therapy and learning and processing I've done over the last 30 years, I'm still grappling with the effects on my relationships with both my partner and my kids. Reading your post was the first time I'd ever heard someone else acknowledge this, and it brought tears to my eyes in a "Wow, I feel seen" kind of way. Thank you.
It's kind of crazy when you stop and think about it, hey.
This happened 20, 30 years ago and wait, hang on? It's still lodged in there? Do people have any idea what toll this takes on a body and mind? It's nice to talk about it.
Oh yes, that's a brilliant book. I think I read it in the past because you recommended it to me. Nice to channel those feelings in times like this. Thanks Jac xx

Thanks, as always, for reading ❤️
Cheering you on from afar and sending lots of love, to shake the sleeping self by Jedidiah Jenkins is a nice companion in these moments xx
