Re: Ash D/Ella M
No one does, until you're in it. Same way no one said anything about how goddamn uncomfortable the cooking the kid would be.
I'm not saying it isn't hard, not knowing. It is, and you don't need to go looking for shadows in corners, because being paranoid doesn't help anybody. I held onto my kid real tight for a while, after. But he's six, and he's gotta learn the world and he's not if you're going to be worrying over who's waiting at the school gates. This place doesn't do neat endings and closure.
