Wow. I had no clue this was going on! I just knew I loved PLC and was so sad when we moved to the boys camp and I didn't end up as a counselor! I am so sorry you had to go through all of that Stacey. I sort of remember seeing a very nice house on Lake George that belonged to your family when we went on one of our sailing trips? I got the biggest blister of my life from the sun on that sailing trip!

This is incredibly raw and honest, Stacey. I know you struggled but was unaware of how much it was related to your home environment. Bravo for an astute therapist and your insight into the damage you experienced and are recovering from.

Thank You, Meg. As you can imagine, I feel unburdened after writing this. Enlightened therapists are truly worth their weight in gold! 💫

your evocative writing really hits home. Your situation wasn't easy but having both parents contribute to your suffering in very different ways is really unfortunate. sending love and light your way.

Thank you, Nancy, for the kind words and wishes. This was a difficult one, and I almost didn’t publish it, but in the long run, it has freed me to an extent. 🩷🕊️
