Sarabel, thank you for opening up and letting the world see your vulnerabilities. I think authenticity is something worth appreciating, and it makes us human. I agree with you that our childhood experiences greatly shape the way we operate in adulthood. The great news is, however, we can learn, unlearn, and become better human beings as always. From a fellow writer, I enjoyed this piece, and I look forward to seeing how you overcome this challenge in the future. : )
