“But I didn’t save her,” I said, bursting into tears. “I couldn’t save her.” “You did save her, Claudia! You saved her from that house for years and you didn’t even know it.”
I cried. It’s true. Sometimes we can only save people for a little bit, not for as long as we want. But it still matters. I feel that as an abuse survivor who has siblings who died as a result of their emotional trauma.
