Marissa thank you so much for your bravery in this piece. The brilliant way in which you chose to structure it makes the cycle of abuse so clear. Each actor’s thoughts and actions seem to be such a natural consequence - they make so much “sense” given the context. I can’t imagine the pushback, both well meaning and otherwise, that you must receive regularly. Thank you.
I really waffled over this one but then I thought: if I am this uncomfortable writing this, if it is this troubling to read….what are we even doing talking in euphemisms?

You are most welcome Lauren.

This practice can’t end soon enough.
