As with all your writing, you deploy your vocabulary masterfully, and create palpable emotion with your inimitable style. You captured the uncertainty of a child who feels powerless, but is so empathetic he places himself at the heart of any struggle, either as its cause or as its beleaguered, bewildered affected party. I’m so glad that your recent experience with the weight loss has become such a positive journey for you and is hopefully helping you process fears of long standing.

The rock thrown through the window - what a terrifying thing to happen to a child! I'm glad Sue was later able to comfort you.

And YES, you do deserve love!

A lot of pain expressed in this reminiscence. Not to worry. You are definitely lovable.

Yes! Yes! Yes! You are entirely lovable. Is it wrong to ask you to post a picture of yourself? I feel like I might have lost track of you!
