I called and texted more times than I could count... but no answer. Of course his actions was my answer. I started my podcast almost a year ago. I talk about hard topics and situations. And realized I’m living a hard situation. Very recently started doing some hard core counselling again. I realized how much pain I was holding of his and his shame.
