What an amazing piece, Connie. It takes however long it takes for healing and catharsis, and this seems to have been a life's work, to put this behind you. Thanks for sharing this. And it's hauntingly written, as well. Lots of love going your way.
Thank you so much, Paul. I'm thrilled to hear your voice on the page, and to delve into your magical photographs, so vivid, solitary, bright. Such gifts.
Unfortunately this scene is the tip of the iceberg as far as how disturbing my early life was. I used to think I was the only one, but far from it. I am blessed now to be able to truly be there and listen to people who choose to share their difficult histories and troubles with me. It's amazing, watching powerful emotions free a person, and to be a part of that. Sending love back. C.
what a haunting piece. but beautiful in the release and redemption made thru the ritual of burning the photos and taking back control. you have helped others with this story. thank you
I hope so, Tabby Ivy. It shocks me to see exactly these types of twisted truths become viral in the news today. Mother's literally selling to unknown men on the internet choice photos of their little girls, posed by their mothers to please the men for money. There can't be enough fires burning in hell for these people. Sorry to say we live in a deeply disturbed world for children everywhere in these days. I myself cannot just look away.
My goodness! So haunting, but that ritualistic release turned a tragedy into redemption. This is a heroic act that makes me continue to believe that good wins, when we let it. Brava & thank you for a powerful, beautiful piece.
Thank you Ellen. I enjoy reading your work very much. At Juke, we're all brave. Writing takes courage and stamina. Creating meaningful relationships and being able to walk away from messed up people is an act of survival, an important turn of events towards self discovery and acceptance, without being judgmental. An alcoholic rarely makes a good life for themselves let alone their children, I'm afraid. In addition, it is never the child's job to rescue that parent. Thanks again. Constance
Thank you for taking the time to read it, Hana. I appreciate your comment so much. It is human, you're so right, It was a consequential act because of all of our hearts being in the same place. Joining ranks to cast away bitterness. Thanks again. Constance

This really moved my heart. It takes a lot of emotional depth both to burn the traces and to write about it. There’s something so human in all of it.
