Life’s about to change!

And I remember coming home one afternoon from spending the night at my friend's house, and my mom had just bought a brand new Corvette, and the whole side of the Corvette was kicked in on the passenger side. And I walk in and my mom's ankles up and it's broken. And she just tells me that she tripped. And she's not sure what happened to the Corvette. Well, we found out that it was him

Mama Stack. I don't know you. I've just been observing your swells and I can appreciate your story because if anyone had a reason not to care about life, certainly would be you. I'm sure you probably had some of those moments and maybe still continue to in some way or form, and that's okay. But for you to be able to get to where you are able to share this in a safe space I do feel swell as a safe space, it's commendable

It's not that that ever happened to me, but it's okay to say all these big words that everybody is so afraid to say. So thank you so much for your comments and your post. I more than appreciate it. That one was probably one of the biggest ones that touched my heart. Yep, still a big baby right now. Again, thank you, and I hope to hear more from you, and I hope that you follow my journey

Mama stack. I'm happy that you appreciated my message. Oh, hold on. I'ma get your pickle. I'm glad you appreciated my message. It came from a real place. Because when I press play, I did not expect to hear what I did. It here. And you're right, nothing is wrong with talking about that. Because the things we fear that people might not want to hear is what they always was meant to be heard

And we got to look it in the eyes and face the hard truth of these trade offs. And so the trade offs for me was, I have a man in the home. I have someone I can call a companion. And even though he was not showing up that way, it still looked that way, and that was good enough for me. I participated in the abuse just to have that connection and access to him

We experience something, and then we regulate that experience, and then we respond. Right. And I think that's what you're in right now. And I can appreciate that because it shows that there's an emotional distance from that emotionally charged situation that you shared with us. But it doesn't devalue it. It doesn't mean that it's not any less important, because it is, but it means that you, I hope, are healing
