Wow what a heavy day. i have no doubt it impacted you greatly.
Im glad you were able to get some peace by giving that teapot of your moms to a family member.
I feel every bit as infuriated with the child abuse you witnessed in your neighbors house. Heres something i dont talk about often. As a child growing up i was that little boy you hear crying and hurting at your neighbors. My father was so violent that a judge made it so he couldn't even come into the same county as me. One time i was six or seven he broke every one of my fingers one by one to punish me for something i didnt even do. The impact it had on me was profound and took me 20 years to overcome and only with the help of a woman who loved me. Child abuse infuriates me. Im sorry you have that going on near your home right now.
One thing im learning from your posts is that you have an incredible drive to connect people and to develop a sense of community. The world needs more people like you.
