Thank you for sharing. I'm trying to be very careful in how I word all of this, because I've never been through what the two of you have, and I know I can never truly understand, but I am sympathetic to the severity of it.

Misread the commentor initially. Absolutely. Sympathy and empathy is how we build a better world.

Absolutely! I think that the sympathy and care that you expressed are very helpful and really want to commend you on reaching out with a supportive hand rather than matched aggression. I find that a lot of people who respond with displays of aggression are doing so because of their own internalized wounds forcing their way our in anger, rather than intentional malice (some people are just assholes, to be fair).

Keep rocking, you beautiful human being.
