First, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I promised a sequel and didn't deliver. I understand that many are upset with me (although being nasty is never an ok). I feel bad that I let anyone down.

I didn't add to the sequel because of two reasons. The biggest being-the story being based on my life and does NOT have a happy ending. In fact, it's been one heartbreak after another. My child had unending challenges-IQ in the 60s, bipolar, severely autistic. This kid will probably never live independently & at almost 20 years of age unable to hold even a 10h/wk job. This kid desperately wants friends but has none. No one invites them to birthday parties, the movies or texts them. Desperately lonely. (We gets loads of support but you can't "force" friends or abilities).

Lastly, it's not possible to get consent to have the story told. I don't feel uncomfortable telling the birth story bc it's mostly mine, but any further is not. Intellectually, consent isn't possible.

I know some will disagree. That's fine-we're human and no one will ever completely agree. Please be kind. I'm doing the best I can. My life is beyond emotionally exhausting-I only shared one tiny bit of my world and heart. No one deserves to be ripped to shreds-ever. Nasty, mean spirited comments aren't necessary and honestly, we should all be better than that. I'm not perfect, I'm just trying to share a different perspective. Again, I'm sorry I let anyone down. I hope y'all's life is going better than mine.
