This is why I do not want more guns or more police and want neighbours to be careful of jumping to conclusions.

Oooooo @Appleblossom ,

That broke my heart 😞

America is not always the progressive nation @tyme 

I have lived with that fear in the last 10 years... Because of the things I have seen here.

Please Australia be careful about how close we follow our allies in these challenging difficult times

@Appleblossom I am so sorry you are not doing well 

You survived because you are strong and resilient, you deserved to survive, you have not just survived but thrived

You've done so well, got a good education, helped lots of people (whether they realise it or not) with your protests, advocacy, supportive posts on forums, participated and run musical groups, indigenous ally, raised children and are now a grandmother and that's just what I know from forums.

I understand if you want to take a break from the forums, but I'll be looking forward to seeing your posts

Sending you much love 

@Appleblossom . Many of us share your concerns, both here and overseas, inclcluding the US.  Please take care. I'm not hopeful but I have faith Martin Luther King Jr is right in the moral arc of the universe being long but tending toward justice. There are many people of good will.

Thank you for your caring responses @Dimity always 

Really good to make a new friend @Till23 

@tyme @lola @rav3n 

But really it has been my terror in the last 10 years for what they did to my son. But I have to control my fear cos I don't want it to impact my son. 

I am better today, had a beautiful day playing beautiful music and stood up to the badly behaved psychiatrist, by making people laugh, but we are still not out of the woods....

Sounds like a lovely day @Appleblossom .

Thank you for sharing. And you go! Standing up to your rights!
