I could go on and on about my childhood rapist when I was 14, but I learned a new word today that explains everything and if it doesn't, so be it... himpathy. my mom was the queen of himpathy. I could explain why, but why would I? in Ireland they have now criminalized coercive control. hip, hip... except, of course, it's difficult to prove... hooray? whatevs. I guess my check is made out to me and it's worth trillions. checked out... of "real life." I think I have the most intelligent dog in the world.
