Thank you. I try to appreciate others and show respect to them with the presumption that they've seen, heard and experienced much as what I did or likely worse. Respecting others for what they know and what they've seen and experienced is important to me. It really isn't something I've ever gotten in return, until recently by a few on poal, that is. It is a bit new to me and I appreciate it from you. It does mean a lot to me. Not downplaying how bad I had gotten as it really wasn't good, but I know that what my rock bottom was is still kind of an 'easy mode' rock bottom compared to many stories I've heard, and I know that this tiny snippet of my story was still not nearly as bad as the story of others on poal and elsewhere. I see someone mention having an alcoholic father or going hungry as a child and, to me, they've already gone through worse than I did as I did not. I had and still have very loving and self-sacrificing parents. My siblings and I didn't go hungry growing up, but my parents often did. We were dirt -nearly living on the street- poor despite my father working multiple jobs, but I didn't notice. So much I wish I had known then that I know now. So much I didn't appreciate, or realize. Perhaps, after the world is righted, we'll all be able to freely share our stories with each other.
