Your mom sent me a really thoughtful reel about generational trauma and how, in many families, someone often becomes the “black sheep” — the person who is criticized, misunderstood, or shamed for breaking away from old patterns. I often think of you in that way.
That role can be incredibly painful, especially when you feel judged by the very people you hope will understand you. But the same person who is seen as the outsider is often the one who has the courage to create change, heal, and build something different.
I truly believe you’re doing that. Through your writing, you’re creating something bigger than yourself. You’re sharing your experiences in a way that helps others feel less alone, and you’re becoming a lighthouse for people who are finding their way through recovery and healing.
I am one of the crazies in your family! But your encrypted message doesn’t seem to imply me…. I hope!!
Yes, encrypted, I'm now curious about the details. Have to wait for the book, which will be coming soon.... to a Chapters near you. I hope.

Keep shining. What you’re creating matters.
