This story documents the night of terror when the narrator’s son experienced his first psychotic break. This night, reality was bent by delusions and paranoia, and the family was never the same again.
Here, the narrator describes how her father was emotionally triggered by a young runaway colt that reminded him of the identical twin brother who had died many years earlier in a tragic car crash. As a result, the narrator learns her father has deep emotional scars that she can only imagine.
In this short story, the narrator attempts to find a proper learning environment for her young son, who has difficulties reading. Sadly and to her astonishment, she could not find it at her local parochial school and had to look further into other options.
My MISSION is to create a healing environment and writing framework for chronic pain sufferers. To this end, we share our deep life stories with dignity, compassion, understanding, and beauty. Then, we release these stories with kindness and gratitude– and with our newfound perspective, create productive and healthy new stories that benefit all life.
My VISION is to build a better present and future for ourselves, our families, communities, and the world.
