Drought
Your family hates me for leaving you
They don’t know
I would have died had I stayed
Even a cactus can die of thirst

These lines came to me this morning while grieving the loss of ex-family. Despite the pain of being misunderstood by those who used to call my daughter and sister, I have no regrets about choosing my wellbeing over martyrdom.
