Darn, Carly! You really have a super powerful voice. I think it's because you are a powerful woman. I raised my three now young adult (your age-ish I would guess) daughters as a single father. This hit me in the feels hard and made me cry. I'm grateful for that and for you and your writing. I'm going to share this with them and my girlfriend. Like them, you deserve grace. Stay in the fight. You're also helping others. That's honorable. Please take good care.
