This is what saved you, PASA, your fight. There are so many children that go along with what was done to them, take the crumbs, or identify with the perpetrators and become like their parents, only to repeat it.


You were strong and brave even then.

This strikes home for me. It is this cruelty that is emblematic of each of our stories. The idea of the parent: I can do whatever I want to you. You do not matter enough for me to do better.


We are not worth enough to care for. And worth so little they can stomp over our souls. And until we are big enough to no longer need them, we have to take it. Powerless. And call it love.


PASA, thank you for sharing your story. It bears witness to my own.
