This is the purpose: to prevent more hurt. I've repeated mistakes, met the wrong people, fell into the wrong crowd, did some things I -for lack of a better word- regret, and so on. I want to show people what that looks like so it can be prevented, and how parents can help children in that situation (plus what the difference is between helping your children and thinking you're helping and actually harming them). I want you, whoever is reading this, to understand that this is a series of unfortunate but extremely fortunate events that changed my life and I want them to change yours without you having to experience them physically. These events are my triggers, so they could be yours. These events are my reality, and i want them to never be yours.
