I settled w/ my church where I was SA. I don’t want their evil hidden but after talking w/ my counselor I knew I couldn’t handle 2-3 more yrs of abuse in legal proceedings & lengthy depos. I put my mental & emot health 1st but instead of feeling liberated I feel like I failed.

I’m sitting in the ICU because my kid just tried to end her life for the 3rd time in 2 years. Ask me if I care about banning books and pride flags. Ask me if I care about litter boxes that don’t exist at school. I just want my kid to survive long enough to graduate. That’s all.
