Re: [To Evie]
Gloating is a terrible habit. I interrogated my brother, and while I did not order the worst of what was done to him, he was injured. So - you can see where I can go 'ah, you and he have seen the same shadows' and at the same time -
I want my brother to have places to vent about his pain, but I do not think he exists to retread that path for another. Does that make sense?
The google says the 'herbs' are apparently an assortment of essential oils - a bit like one of those herbal teas. None of the other sort, I fear.
Well, I'm a coward at heart. He wanted me to stay, and so, I stay. He asked me to try, and so I am trying. I think he sees more worth in me than I do.
