Dear Grimbsy. This is so different to the articles you usually write, and I want to say that if i were Amanda, I would be saying to you: it's ok Grimsby, i learnt long ago that you were not to blame and there is nothing to forgive. Hurt people hurt people and you were doing the only thing you could at the time with all the hurt and emotions inside you.

If i could wave a magic wand i would have you release this now so that it never enters your mind again: with your writing you have done the most courageous and healing thing: you have shone a light into the darkness, and i cannot applaud you enough. I hope beyond hope that you feel better for sharing this. I think it is my favourite of all of the things i have read by you: i feel as if i know you better. And I am glad about that. Hearts to you, A💚💚💚
