Hi E.B Johnson, I truly enjoyed reading your piece. Anytime a writer touches on childhood trauma, I’m keen to read it. But no one has taken the time to dissect it the way you have which has resonated deeply with me and for that I say thank you!

Some of the signs you mentioned are the kind I’ve been experiencing of late of which I’m grateful reconfirming them through your piece. I just wish I could learn to manage the difficult emotions more when they spring up from my now epiphanies and forgive myself and my loved ones for all the trauma they put me through.

But I’m learning to practice self-love and acceptance m, likewise compassion to see if they will help pull me through as I continue to heal. These were equally points you mentioned and I’m happy I came across your piece at such a time in my life.
