If you have a facial disfigurement or know someone who has and you are needing support I highly recommend the UK charity Changing Faces but I am happy for you to message me and I can offer advice or just be a person to listen because sometimes our voices are forgotten.

The boy-creature morphs into a terrifying monster of bone and claw, and he tears Joshua's world apart. Feeling betrayed and revolted, Joshua forces him out of his life. ~ ~ ~ When he first awoke on this planet, Seth only really received a warm welcome from one person.
