The stories and information shared on this site are true to the best of my knowledge and based on my personal experiences, opinions, and recollections, or those submitted to me by others. Names, locations, and identifying details have been changed or omitted to protect privacy, and pseudonyms are used throughout, unless noted in reader submissions.
Nothing here is intended to defame, harm, or misrepresent anyone. These posts and stories are shared in good faith for the purpose of storytelling, healing, and connection. Truth, told from lived experience, is not inherantly defamation and I will always take great care to protect the privacy of all involved.
I understand that curiosity is part of human nature, but I kindly ask readers to refrain from trying to piece together real identities, whether mine, those in my stories, or individuals mentioned in reader-submitted experiences. I’m a real person with a real life and children who value our anonymity, and I extend that same consideration to others.
Even when the stories shared here involve hurtful behavior, the people involved are still human beings with their own perspectives, reasons, and families. As the saying goes, there are two sides to every story. While I may never fully understand their motivations, I choose to believe most people are acting according to their own truth, and they deserve to do so in peace, just as I do.
If you have a concern about any content, please reach out to me directly and assuming it’s reasonable, I will be glad to address it
