Wow - what a powerful story, Purbita. I'm so sorry you experienced so much loss and trauma at a young age - having to see some of those things..just awful!

And then your nasty driving instructor - there are so many people in the world who love to take advantage of others if they can. Good for you, standing up for yourself!!!

I'm sorry about you losing your dear friend to cancer. Such a hard thing when we love someone. I can sure relate to that kind of grief. I hope you and all your friend's loved ones find comfort and healing.

Thank you for sharing your story. And yes, I have a story of shame, too - about having been divorced six times - and why it happened. You can read about it here, if you want to have a look.
