Sorry "Sorry"

Careless Apologies by Careless Men

Your copy paste apology

Wasn't worthy

Of a response,

Much less forgiveness.

Instead it hung there,

Carelessly abandoned,

Much like the way

You left me.

Impersonal to the point

Of insulting.

Far too little,

Months too late.

But even the apology realized:

You didn't forget

To give it meaning.

You simply weren't capable.

I'm Glad You're Here

After years spent advocating for domestic violence victims while hiding my own suffering, I refuse to let anyone feel abandoned in their abuse or its aftermath.

Trauma sucks. Recovery shouldn't. That's why I'm making communicating about my own experiences as normal as possible while actively calling out abuse and inequity when I see it.

My aim is to give others a safe environment in which to develop these tools so we can start making some much-needed changes together.

Please support my continued writing (and help me inch my way toward my first book) by following and engaging with me on trauma and advocacy. I'd love to hear from you!
