Thank you. This was brave, and to say it was eye-opening is a massive understatement. You made it possible for anyone who is a mother of a child or children to walk in your shoes. I volunteered in a women's max prison for 20 or so years. I wish I had read something like this back then so I could understand what the mothers of some of the younger prisoners were going through. The ripple effect you detailed here is excruciating to read, and you are living it. Thank you again for your courage in describing things you didn't want to talk about or face. There's nothing I can say to make it better. I earnestly wish you some peace wherever you can find some.
Honored to be in your light, Kate. We're stronger together. Thank you for sharing in our story. 🖤
Thanks Bridget, and thanks for letting me share your story. Hundred percent agree - we are stronger together. 🩷

Thank you for reading, and for this kindness, Sally. Through writing, I find an inexplicable peace. In comments like yours, I find more. 🖤
