Stories to tell.
Movies to be produced based on my books.
And maybe, just maybe, a life much happier than what mine has become.
If you choose life and change, Margaux, we can help and support you through it.
But it is an impossible task to help/support you or anyone, if you don't take the steps to help yourself as well.
You were given the contact details from the police for help and support.
I have sent you the information for the Al-Anon contacts, meetings and support for yourself.
Did you take the steps to contact these organizations? I presume not.

Happy and stress-free.How I would love that.
You are so smart, Margaux. You can do anything you want to and experience anything you want to.
Is where you are at right now in your life really how you want to be living, breathing, and being?
Fuck no.
Your life, Margaux, your future and your choices.
What will you choose, is the question to answer for yourself.
Lots of love from your sister, Amanda xxxxx
Tears flow.
