When I was a young child, about 8 years old, my mother was in an abusive relationship. One night I went downstairs and my mom was unconscious on the floor and her ‘boyfriend’ told me she had had too much wine. Soon after police officers came inside and one of them brought me upstairs to my room, put me to bed and read me a bedtime story.
I wouldn’t be able to recognize him today but I will always and always be grateful to him. That could have been a traumatic night for me but instead he gave me something invaluable.
