? submitted by downing on June 18, 2016, 12:54pm This was harder to read than I expected. Some of the issues she would casually mention were pretty disturbing. That being said, I'm really glad I read this.
Not easy submitted by crp on August 24, 2019, 11:31pm Not easy esp if you are someone personally impacted by these events
