Writing some of these posts is really emotionally draining. - Jenny H.

Great post. (And in part familiar.) - Stephan Planken

Excellent, Jenny, and I too am familiar with many of the things you have written about. - Friar Will

Fantastic, Jenny. Thank you for sharing :) - Brent Schaus

Wonderful. My mother used to say so many of the same things to me from her growing up in Korea. She had to work for another family and never had the benefit of school after her father died and there was no money, so she had to work. She wanted us to know how lucky we were. We were never rich with my father enlisted in the Army, but we always understood what we had and how hard it was for so many. - Eric @ CS Techcast

Thank you, Stephan, Will, Brent, Eric, and Anne. <3 It's difficult to write about because it's something I hid for so long. Part of the reason for writing these very personal posts is in trying to find self acceptance. It's good to have people here who accept me, too. :) - Jenny H.

You're amazing and courageous, and so inspiring. Thank you for sharing this. <3 - felicious

Aw, Jenny, we love you. - Anne Bouey

Thank you, felicious. <3 Anne, right back at you. :) - Jenny H.

I read your piece earlier today - I admire your courage in writing about a very difficult time, and I like how you shared how those experiences shaped you later in life. It is never easy to write what needs to be written, as my friend/writing mentor says, but I'm very glad you did. - Corinne L

I'm really sorry you went through all that and thank you for being willing to share it with us. - Spidra Webster
