Universal Disclaimer
I understand there is no way to avoid critical commentary on my writing, and that is okay. I also understand I do not have capacity to engage with everyone who disagrees with or is offended by my thoughts. However, just in case it is possible to soothe or mollify distressed readers, and also to clarify my inherently subjective perspective, I would like to offer the following disclaimer.
My parents did the best they could with the tools they had. I sincerely believe this.
My grandparents did the best they could with the tools they had. I sincerely believe this.
I do not believe any parents ultimately want to cause their children physical/mental/emotional/sexual harm.
Love > fear,
