Absence, Guilt, and Survival - With Chaos Control by Jess

While Ashley is out sick, Sammi’s best friend Jessica—who also happens to be Phil’s sister-in-law—steps in for a deeply meaningful episode. (Fun fact: without Jessica, there’d be no Trauma Candy Salad at all.)


This week, we read three submissions that explore the quieter sides of trauma: emotional neglect in a marriage, caregiver guilt and exhaustion, and the lifelong ripple effects of childhood abuse. These stories are raw, brave, and heartbreakingly honest—and they remind us that even when we think we’re alone in our pain, someone else might be sitting with the same ache.


TW: Emotional neglect, child loss, suicide ideation, postpartum depression, disability caregiver fatigue, sexual assault, CPTSD.
