"with your permission, I have a thought that might be relevant, whenever you're ready"

I will try that :D

I can't even imagine; must have been uniquely difficult and challenging. Feeling ignored, marginalized and overlooked is a deep wound...

Indeed.

Gives you a real (and sad) sense of just how many of us are "the walking wounded," and it takes so little before we feel like cornered animals and lash out, accordingly.

It really is very, very sad.

Truer words were never said!

I wish more people realised that.
