Christmas is often a time when survivors of childhood abuse (in any form) struggle a lot. The image many have about child abuse is that a stranger jumps out of the bush to kidnap or attack a child.

Re-post: Writing against Anxiety (a reason for poets and writers)/Gegen den Angstzustand schreiben (ein Grund fuer Dichter und Autoren)

We Can Do It but what day is it anyway? (27.3.2020 just so you know!!!!!)
Hello dear readers, how are you doing? Maybe I shouldn’ ask this question at the moment?
