Thank you for your kind and insightful comment @eco-alex.
Yes the struggle is so unbelievably hard that those who haven't lived through it can sometimes not understand the effects.
I haven't gone out of my way to watch the news or tv for many years now.I much prefer a good book or an insightful documentary. I'm slowly weaning off Facebook and I use it as a tool to raise awareness about important issues rather than showcase pictures and status updates. It's a very freeing feeling. One that I am happy with. ❤
