What a wonderful essay, Denée! Rich with insights and experience, and a good helping of kindness and compassion.

Your parents knew what they were doing. How lovely that you were given the space to ask questions and to learn - and be supported - through the process of learning about actions and consequences.

I love all the detail you shared about these different types. Thank you for another brilliant submission. I'm honoured to publish it! And thank you, too, for your kind share of the link to the pub!! 💜
