Crow On The Wire 
This was a beautiful story Mark! I couldn’t help feel numb as I was reading it but I am hopeful there will be hope 🙂
Me, too. 🙂
A heartfelt and heartbreaking story, Mark. Tragically, Nora’s story is not unique. I’m currently reading the memoir of a New Yorker, Latina woman, now in her forties, of the sexual abuse she endured in silence from a young age. It’s so painful to read that I’ve put her book aside for a while.
Yes, Rosaliene. Abuse has profound effects. Painful and tragic.
🙏❤️🌞
Thanks, Elaine.
What an incredibly powerful story about the damage humans inflict on one another. I was so relieved for the glimmer of hope at the end.
Thanks, I’ve never met a therapist who wasn’t hopeful to some degree. This situation surely tested him.
Quite a story…i am moved..
Thanks, Macrine. I’m glad you read it.
You welcome
Thanks for sharing
You’re welcome.
I love this, and I think that many of us can relate to either being the one who wants to help or the one who is incapable of receiving it.
Yes, it’s hard either way. 🙏🏻🙂
I can only imagine that there are more stories out there like Nora’s. I know this is fiction, but it’s powerful and sad. I read the hope in the end and that’s what I have for anyone in this situation.
Yes, people in the most difficult situations seem to find hope.
