“We agree on lots of things actually, except for all the real stuff that’s too heavy to lift, too overbearing and glaring, too true. Like when I tried to tell you that I was molested, and you asked me, “How does something like that even happen? I mean, why do you think it happened to you?” Yeah, stuff like that. And the other time I tried to tell you about the panic attacks I was having due to the trauma, and you said, “Trauma? What trauma?” Grateful to @CharlotteHam504 (EIC) for republishing my CNF “We Don’t Talk” in Sugarsugarsalt Lit Mag (first in @CleaverMagazine ) This one still hurts.
