Octavia, I can so relate to much of what you shared here, and isn't it lovely that we are able to learn and grow from our challenges?? I still trip up now and then - perhaps because I'm human! LOL! But it's good when we can have these big "Aha!" moments of clarity and "inner-standing" (that is so cool!) and a deeper self-awareness so we can do better.

Thank you so much for sharing this, and for choosing HHH to publish. I can feel how frustrated and upset you've been with the confusion and anger and all of those things you didn't like, and I can also feel the hope and relief at putting together this puzzle. Yay!! ❤️❤️❤️
