Sam, this was beautiful and painful to read. But I feel hope intertwined in your words and where there is hope, there is life. I am inspired by your strength, even in those moments you don't feel strong.

Coming from a similar situation of estrangement, I related deeply to everything you said. I hope that your journey of healing grows a little easier as time passes. You’re such a strong person. Thank you for sharing your story. 🤍
