Summary
It's not your fault it broke. But it is your fault if it stays broken. You didn't ask for the trauma. You didn't choose the betrayal. You didn't plan the divorce, the loss, the abuse, the abandonment. You didn't knock your own walls down. But 140 years later, you're still standing in the rubble.
