Engaging with this podcast proved that memory makes certainties like time and place into slippery concepts. The standoff happened so long ago it’s hard to believe at all, and yet as I described its events from a safe remove of 26 years and 340 miles, there I was, reliving it all again. Thanks for listening Julie.

That was difficult to watch, but thank you for sharing your story. Trauma sucks. Trauma and children double sucks. I'm very much looking forward to your book! Onward.

I admit that the hardest part to let go of was my anger at the effect this would have on my boys, especially my younger son, who idolized his dad. But none of us gets through life unscathed, they had the support they needed, and in the end, every adversity is an opportunity for a parent to role model a way to move past it. I have to believe that was enough.

Kathryn, I didn’t know, but I understand. My mom died by suicide and it’s the hardest thing I’ve had to endure.

I’m thrilled for you and your new craft book. I can’t wait to read it! Congratulations!

Oh wow, Marta, your mother’s suicide must have been such a horrific shock. I can’t imagine.
