My story is different but just as raw and not easy to tell and yet it just needs to be told. I've struggled over it for ten years now. I once had a fellow writer basically say that I must've wanted my sister dead based on what I had written. It was probably my most painful moment as a writer and I don't think I have since shared that part of my story publicly again as I loved my sister deeply. I agree with what another commenter said that they simply cannot relate in any way to your pain as if they could they would never choose such harsh words even in a critique. I haven't read your unfinished story but your blog about it is very vulnerable and your honesty will reap rewards. Please keep writing your story; I am struggling to write mine right alongside you. If you ever need any encouragement with it please feel free to contact me. Perhaps we can encourage each other.Gloria Lynn Guesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14144091313075005581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-81055063885711068852017-03-25T10:18:14.186-07:002017-03-25T10:18:14.186-07:00Hi Vickie!

I cannot relate to experiencing a divorce firsthand. I can, however, relate to how it feels to be estranged from a son. It is difficult to express or explain such pain. At least it was for me. Even through reading the replies to your post I see how people receive it with grace. Take your time my friend. Realize also you are loved and your story will one day be told. It can only be told with deep love by you. Blessings on you my friend!Alan Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01192838076987472527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-21336553972299505642017-03-25T08:19:48.235-07:002017-03-25T08:19:48.235-07:00Dear Vickie, I am a writer and an editor. People w...Dear Vickie, I am a writer and an editor. People who haven't felt the same pain, and have difficulty translating your pain by their own lived measure can't realize that, as your write your symbolic words, you are feeling the raw pain that is carved deep into you, underneath them. Nobody can honestly claim to "know your pain" or "know how you feel", but, because of my own life experiences, I'm asking you, when you do decide to continue writing, whether you want to produce a complete book ms. first, or work through it a few chapters at a time, please consider me for your editor. I can provide Word Guild/Inscribe references. God has granted you the strength to begin this. If it God's will that you continue, I'd like to be by your side, emotionally, spiritually, professionally, if not in person. (I don't know where you live.)
