Do you know the saddest thing about my family?

If they would have just slowed down and listened… I never would have left.

That’s all they would have had to do back then.

Just slow down… take a few minutes… and listen to what I had to say.

Can you imagine it? Instead of whipping past with all the conclusions and violence, just slowing down could have saved so much pain, so much anger, so much sadness and numbness–and not just on my part, but on theirs.

All they had to do was just slow down… stop… and listen.

It is just about the saddest thing I know in my life.
