I’ve got so much admiration for you Frances, and I’m so sad that you had to be as brave as you have been.
Cowardice is such a good frame for understanding inaction from bystanders. The desire for everything to be normal and fine is so strong, but we have to fight against it when it just isn’t true. I’ll be thinking about your words if I find myself in a situation like this.
Thanks so much for sharing what you’ve been through and sharing this valuable analysis. There’s no expectation on you to have any distance from this situation—what you’ve written is deeply impressive.

Toby, I’m very grateful to have you as a friend and I’m so glad you’re in EA. Thank you to you and your partner for frequently coming over to make small clay creations, which was load bearing to my mental health throughout this past year. I think that was a very brave thing to do, because a lot of the clay creations were very ugly and they sometimes bordered scary.

Thank you for recognising that act of bravery. Yours weren’t that scary tbh, but Lara’s appear each time I close my eyes.
