That was a heartbreaking read. I’m sorry you had to endure so much pain to the point of an attempt on your life. That is tragic.
I also went through a nasty divorce that i initiated and haven’t had the desire to write about it.
I was a stay-at-home mum for a good chunk of my marriage and he earned a lot, all I wanted was what was fair and to be financially independent and physically comfortable.
As for the DC 10, my most distinct memory is of the Air NZ Erebus disaster. I was only 13 but remember it well.
You’ve experienced a lot of losses. I’m glad writing about them is therapeutic in some way.
