    One specific family member, hope that’s okay. But I could never tell my mom about when I was molested on a work trip with her ex-partners company. One of the families took in troubled boys and I woke up in the cabin with him in my bed. Hands in my clothes and drunk as hell. I beat him so bad. One of the other actual children of employees woke up and helped pull me off him and got him out of there. We never talked about it. I don’t know what he(the helper) knew at the time. What I do know is if I ever tell my mother this she will drive and she will one hundred percent kill the people who brought that monster into my life. And I love her too much to put her through that (both having to hear it, and the murder, and the subsequent jail time).

        It was, but I am actually doing really well now, generally. Stable and supportive partner. Love and joy on the daily!

        Have some health issues but I feel like who doesn’t these days? It does make having friends a struggle but I have a lot of… acquaintances and small relationships can be fulfilling, in their own way.

        Generally great relationships with my family, minus several humans who have been downgraded to biological associates.

        On the whole pretty excellent and like to think I’m doing as well for those around me as I can despite my limitations.

        Sorry, unsuspecting victims, for the wall of text, the word vomit needed out, I suppose.
