In high school, one teacher saw through what others thought to be a normal teen demeanor. The scars shown through in my behavior but his assumptions about the cause were wrong as before. I never confided in him. Though I don’t know that the outcome would be any different, I wish I had that confidence.

Other than knowing you had an ally, I don’t think the teacher could have done much. But having that ally, that confidant when things got hectic… that might’ve been nice. I still wish you’d had siblings.

I can tell you, I have faced the same incrimination in my school once & I kept quite! It would certainly have been different had we spoken…

G-Man – I’m not sure if I’ll reveal it. I’ve only ever told four people.
