With everything that happened to my daughter last week, I just sort of wrote last week's introduction to Love/Hate without giving it much thought. To be clear, I spent a lot of time writing it and thinking through how best to tell a long story that isn't a particularly happy one. But I didn't give any thought to how it would be received. I wrote it because it was cathartic for me and, frankly, it was only the most important thing going on in my life the past few weeks.
The response I received was so incredibly warm and supportive, it blew me away.
