      Here’s another picture of me, hugging someone who is not my mother, on a compound with as many as 128 kids. But hey... we had a TV. How bad could it be? Fuck you. How old was I, do you think, before my first suicidal thought? Younger than you.pic.twitter.com/q1oZLN6J3S

      I went to a doctor today. I've been stressed out for a while. I'm a journalist after all. I have to read the news every day. But this is something new. It's messing me up. And I couldn't deal with it alone. These pictures of kids living in fucking warehouses. It's killing me.

      Only tweeting this now I guess because it's 5am & I've been drinking. Of course, I'm no stranger to alcohol. It was a friend early on. Rarely is now, thankfully. I am always awake at this hour though. Always. Anxiety is forever with me, every day, for 30 years. Guess why?

      In the early 90s, my dad helped found a group called Texas Fathers for Equal Rights. Back then, moms always got custody no matter what. He represented himself, no degree, just studied in SMU's law library for years. I was abducted & they tried to keep me. Parents are heroes.

      Children need love. Most importantly, they need it from their parents. It's our responsibility as a society to ensure they get it. Everything else is secondary.

      I don't feel bad. Or sad. I just wonder if I'd be more stable today without this.

      It's part of who you are, for better or worse. I had a different kind of problem childhood (my parents were the problem—probably should have been at foster care) and if I talk about it, I see people's jaws drop. I'm like, oh, right, some people have stable, loving childhoods.

      I like who I am and what I know because of what I've lived through. Not sure I'd want an easier life. I know a lot of boring people who don't know shit.

      At the same time, that's me and I don't mind being rough around the edges. I wouldn't wish it on anyone else though.

      I was literally typing that. I wouldn't wish what happened to me on anyone else, but once/if you survive it, there are ways in which one is different that ... I don't mind at all. And in your case, you can speak to the nonsense that this is not harmful to the children.
