I have shared a lot here on Substack about my years living in Catholic orphanages. It was difficult, but like you, staying silent, was no longer an option. I found that the Substack community are nonjudgmental, compassionate individuals.
Thank you so much for commenting. I know in my heart I have gone through a lot for a reason. Staying silent was killing me. Sharing seemed to free me and hopefully let’s others no they are not alone.
Thank you for writing, thank you for starting with self forgiveness. Thank you for sharing your Granny with us and the weight of it all. Big and safe waves of love to you for ever and ever 🌊🤍

Thank you for your sweet and care filled response.
Diana,
Thank you for sharing your short story.
I feel your strength. I feel your care. I feel how much you carried and how clearly you speak now.
The way your grandmother held you stays with me. The way you heard her words. The way something reached you through all the years in between.
You bring this into the open with such grace.
I walk with you in this.
