RE: Telling the story

Great story, @warpedpoetic, and very well told. So much can happen to one family.

I just want to call your attention to the community rules. We've made a pretty strong statement about not allowing stories that feature violence against women. There are a number of reasons, including the fact that it causes some people to experience PTSD. Because your story only alludes to it, and does not actually portray the violence, we will leave it. (Stories portraying violence against women are muted.) But please choose other subjects. Many thanks.
