They were probably drinking or on something and thought they knew you from way back. So they just let you go. Life is strange that way but I am glad nothing other than a scare happened to your wife.

Powerfully penned, Nick. Sometimes you gotta roll with the punches, while hoping none are thrown, cooler heads can prevail. Quick thinking my friend. Appreciate you.

Sometimes idiocy outweighs intention. If someone intent on bullying & causing trouble is suddenly confronted with the unexpected…not anger or fear but friendliness…they usually falter. Probably spent the rest of the day trying to remember where you knew them from. Quick on your feet, my friend. In your shoes, I would have been terrified. I think it’s one of the biggest reasons my partner is leery of PDA…he’s afraid of becoming someone’s irrational abuse target. I wish it wasn’t such a pervasive reality 😕

I got caught in the description of she being married to the demon and being convinced to go to hell, Nice done crimsin

Passionately penned, Brenda. Incredible imagery my friend. Appreciate you.

I’m picturing shades of orange, yellow & vomit…I think you said it pretty perfectly.

It’s the same for most mental illnesses.
Those that have never suffered from them cannot entirely understand what’s happening in the mind of the afflicted.
My mental health illness of choice (as if I had any) was depression.Everyone looked for a reason as to why it happened and yes there may have been some reasons but essentially I am predisposed to it.
They also presume medication will fix it when in fact it can’t.It can lessen the impact but the brain and the mind of a ‘ looney’ neuroplaticly savant ( I just made that up so no point googling it) in that it’s like trying to catch the wind and tame it.
I’m rambling a bit but today is a suffering day and writing ,as you well know,calms the mind.Doesnt have to be good writing,just has to be good enough to quiet the mind.
You’re husband is destined for heaven,if there is one,just tell him to keep away from my wife.They are saints in the making.It cannot be easy for either to understand our suffering but without them we probably wouldn’t be here?
One final thing.For all the shit that depression brought it also helped kick open a door that let kindness and compassion flood into me.
I often encounter people in social settings that trivialise or worse vilify those with mental health issues.What they don’t understand is they are only a bees dick away from themselves.
You take care sweetie and I mean that from the heart of my bottom…lol.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

thank you beautiful Mary it’s just what I’ve been through go through I deeply appreciate the lovely comment and understanding 💕

Powerfully penned, Brenda. The human mind is powerful, but it can be like putting together a puzzle, with very vague directions. Amazing write my friend, thanks for sharing. Appreciate you.
