sat in the emergency room with my chest aching and when they asked for my emergency contact - i froze - couldn’t think of a single name, just felt so alone in a city i thought would feel like home by now.
so my kid got bullied bad enough to almost hurt themself, and the school's solution? they gave me a pamphlet on "zero tolerance" which is apparently code for zero action. like thanks for the brochure while my kid's dealing with emotional fallout but hey at least the printer was working.

my son turned 22 and now he just sits at home every day like the world just shut the door on him and honestly i feel like i failed him. the silence is crushing— i thought there would be options, a way to help him find a place in this world, but instead it feels like we are just lost in the noise.
