Kate + Fenris [ TW ]
Unfortunately, most of those in my life were more keen to mock and humiliate me than support me. My father and sisters tried, but it was a difficult time. I understand what you mean, though. Because I haven't talked about it, it's seemed to only amplify that I only know what happened second-hand. I still have no memories of it. Talking about it at least puts it out in the world, even if it's only been to you. It's sort of taking ownership of something that was taken away from me, I suppose?
I'm glad that your friends supported you when you told them, though. You said they helped you fight. I'm sure that was a wonderful feeling, to have them at your back. Mr. Hawke seems like a very kind person.
