Alcoholism. The physical violence that happened. I can neither tolerate alcoholics nor corporal punishment for children. Nor can I tolerate yelling still.

The feeling that it wasn't safe. Couldn't speak out. Couldn't speak up. As an adult, I learned how to speak out and up. I think when I turned eighteen, I realized I couldn't be silent anymore. I had a voice and I needed to express myself.

@SW-User Being in a childhood where it was unsafe and being vulnerable all the time, those made me a warrior. I have a knack for speaking up for others who lack voices figuratively and literally. I am proud to do so. Thank you.
