9. The Joy of Yellow Shag Carpet

"I got to see some things. Then I got to try some things."

Poor people have different options for mental health help, and support groups, and hospice grief support were two options that helped me. I do not offer advice, just tools that helped me.

In the land of BDSM, you can share space, with different focus. I share one rape survivor's request for support to gain control over a traumatic event, where her "No" was respected, which healed her.

Later, the carpet gives mom reason, to keep us laughing.

This is the House on Valencia Street. This is a place where ghosts and psychics, with PTSD, exist, and I'm talking about it. Share time with a rare survivor, walking back to haunted rooms and space being claimed from long ago. This is from the survivor's perspective. Language is explicit, content warning: ghosts, psychic ability, rape, incest, foster care, murder, emancipation, BDSM, therapy, lightning strikes, Buddhism, recovery, codependency, domestic violence, and inappropriate humor, most likely.
