Laterally watching your own kids starve to death. Not being able to do anything about it.

Just watching it I mean. The death is different.

Yeah, that would do it…though my character doesn’t have kids yet. But wow, that’s deep. @DeWayfarer

@PoisonLace my mother lost two that way in WWII. Two miscarriages on top of that though. 😞

So sorry to hear that. 🥺@DeWayfarer

@PoisonLace you could possibly work in a miscarriage for your character. Just being under weight could cause it or a hundred other reasons.

That’s an option…but not sure yet. @DeWayfarer

@PoisonLace heck use the current situation with many alcohols today. Social isolation is totally relatable today. And could happen in any age group. Perhaps on social media all the time. Actually know of such a person on this site that way. By herself as well I might mention.
