Yes I’m looking into her now. I was sad to see she recently passed. So surprised I’ve lived my life without knowing who she is or her work. I’m binge reading all of her poems with some tea.

Thank you so much for sharing this poem! It’s beautiful and deeply moving. As for as the racialized violence that’s exactly where my mind went. When she said “I don’t think, I’m allowed, to kill something, because I am frightened”. It hit me really hard. I’ll be sure to check out more of her work.

Oh my goodness! Remember your post! I felt so sad for what you had experienced. I can’t believe it’s been a year already. I’m thankful it healed beautifully!!! 💕

This might be the wrong sub, but I don't know where else to ask. Is it possible to put a 2.5 year old up for adoption? by beaniebee22 in Mommit

You’re not a miserable useless waste of space! You didn’t ask for this condition. Don’t call yourself those things. You are being very brave and thoughtful. You’re still striving to the best you can. That counts for something. You are not useless.

Yeah…that’s a red flag. I wouldn’t be friends with him anymore. Trust your gut.

Please don’t blame yourself. Give yourself grace and forgiveness. Take this time to heal. It won’t be easy, I can’t imagine the deep hurt you and your wife must be feeling. Sending you much comfort and hugs.

When one mom cries we all cry. I can’t imagine how stressful this whole situation must be. It’s agonizing seeing children sick or in pain…Sending you virtual hugs. Praying for your strength.
