I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I haven't been able to get the sound of her mother's screams out of my head or her father pleading with me. It's swallowing me whole and I'm so sorry.

Oh, Allyson. I'm so sorry you have to carry those memories. I wish I could take them from you. Nobody should ever have to go through that, on either side.

{{{Allyson}}} I just can't imagine how awful that must have been.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Allyson, you were handed an impossible task. Vent as needed. Please.

If I only had a brain...
I am sorry, Allyson. I can't begin to imagine how horrible that is to remember and to experience. I am so sorry.
If I sound dumb today (no reassurances necessary) bear with me. I had to take a Tramadol and they really lobotomize me. Ironically, I am only allowed 2 days a week of Toradol, 2 a week of Relpax (I get a mighty 6 doses a month, and you may need to repeat doses during the day), 2 of Tramadol. My pain specialist has just sent mail saying "You aren't supposed to take Tramadol on a long-term basis!" I had to sit on my fingers to avoid saying "WHO THE HELL PRESCRIBED THEM FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS, THE OPIOID FAIRY?!?!?"

Oh, Allyson, you are carrying a huge emotional load right now - it's completely understandable that you'd feel broken beneath it. And it's okay to be broken right now, really.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am so sorry Allyson. You were given a horrible task. I wish I could carry some of this for you.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
There is mercy in that someone who loved her told them.
You weren't some police officer doing his best to be kind to strangers. Your heart was breaking along with theirs. Their daughter was so far away from them and there was nothing that they or you or anybody else could do - but she was surrounded by people who'd have done anything for her. That matters.
