I am bruised. By your neglect. By all those small slights. By being taken for granted. By your complete refusal to acknowledge the abuse.
And it’s only beginning to surface.

    Excellent composition and angle, Jen!! Really dramatic. Love the tones.
    Sad and powerful title and sidebar…experienced by so many.

  • Thank you so much, Wendi. I know—I guess it’s a good reminder to watch how we treat other people. How easy it is to take each other for granted!
