Honestly written. I so can relate to the storm destroying the home. Yet the home still stands, cracks and all, the love and connection and hope is still there. Living along side this craziness is a daily battle and practice. Your writing is a reminder of how far I’ve come to rebuild. Though many days are still tormentuous some are not and I’ve experienced joy and laugh despite the pain.
Thanks for sharing this, and for allowing us to walk alongside this mama as she tells her story. As I have grown, and found more solid ground beneath me, I still slip into despair and sadness occasionally, like we all do. When another mom lets us into her experience, it helps me see my own progress and trajectory. I can see so much of my own path in this mama's story, and am so grateful that in reading it, I can breathe some comfort and confidence in my own journey. True support and community.
So poignantly potent and relatable. This mirrors our own family's journey. Still cultivating strong, loving connections as she explores. Still cultivating faith, no longer in the institutions and communities we once trusted, but in myself and in my daughter and our ability to navigate these stormy waters individually and together as a family. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful. The ability to hold so many different and seemingly conflicting perspectives is a mark of maturity and love.
