Just when I think you've written THE best, you go over the top again. I can see you and hear you speaking every word here. Prayers up for you and Eli and Sally.
Chris, thank you for your very brave and courageous honesty. You are one special human being! And you are also a super talented writer. I love reading your posts...your observations and insights move me. Sending much love your way!
So much content out there about cutting off contact with parents. For the children of those who have been abused, and who choose to love. To forgive. To be patient, rather than discard their parent. Reading a piece like this makes that choice feel, well, absolutely beautiful.

Strange how the past follows us, whether we have keepsakes or not. I love how you turn around to face it.

I should clarify, not everybody SHOULD choose to.
I’ve made similar mistakes. Thank you for your courageous vulnerability. May we forgive ourselves and all of our loved ones.
