Anger dies a natural death when its source is exposed. And without it, a whole raft of other stuff is allowed in. Exceptional trauma sometimes wipes the memory away. Maybe that will be John' case. But I would certainly like proof of concept first. Don't let Renee leave yet.
This I loved: "Or maybe, I thought as sleep finally claimed me, we just kept starting again every day until starting again became its own form of prayer, its own form of resistance, its own form of love."
Love to you. I am so grateful for all of your writing and for who you are. My partner and I are marooned in Sarasota, Florida. I don't have a family here of any sort. AA, it still brings me some release, but Zoom is a thin tease of what it offered. Anyway. cishet, old fucking white guy loves you and all yours.
One of your best yet.

Forgiveness is certainly difficult, but ridding yourself of the tumor of resentment is worth it.
I still have trouble with the forgiveness part.
You're not alone in that.
You arent alone either.
and bourbon, you forgot that...
