Hey, Soren!

Happy Friday! How’s it going back home? I find my memory has been very poor of late (I’ve had to look in my diary to tell people how I’ve been doing), which feels like a poor sign of things, but I will do my best to say something interesting anyway.

I had a class at the British Museum on Tuesday. The class itself wasn’t of much note, but the museum very much is. Afterwards my friends went looking for a body I hadn’t known was there, someone who died thousands of years ago in a bog. I saw several Egyptian mummies as well, out of their sarcophagi in the open — it felt voyeuristic and disrespectful. I suppose that’s what you can expect from the British Museum. I did not like it one bit. I’m not sure I should even say that the collections were nice, because so much of it was stolen. We have a lot of museums back home, more than usual, I think. I have distant memories of how fun the natural history museum and science museum were with their big displays and dark rooms.

Afterwards we stopped in an antique bookshop, which was rather nice, though I didn’t get anything. I am very tired after all the work of this week though I don’t feel like I’ve actually done very much. How is schoolwork over there? My memories of public high school are hellish. But I find myself missing America very much. People here talk about America to feel superior, like we don’t know our problems. I’ve gotten lots of rude jokes and comments. At least I am connected to home through here and the internet.

I am tired again, alas. I have little more to write on. Tell me something about yourself. I miss you as always. Will the ekphrasis make it mean less? Don’t let it. I mean it more each time. Time keeps passing infinitely between us.

With love,

Alice

I was married to a woman for a decade. In 2015, she suddenly abandoned our eldest daughter and withheld our youngest. Soren has been taken from her primary home, mom, sister, and everyone on our side of her family since she was 10. Our purpose is manyfold: we want you to know Soren's story, advacate for Soren in Eugene, OR, champion LGBTQ families to help stop abuse, and help ensure no child lives with: psychological abuse, withholding, abandonment, alienation, or parental kidnap again. These are sides of the same coin.

Letters from Sister

I have crawled out of my next test. Greek historiography. I think I did okay enough — not as good as history, with less time to study, but enough. Big points. References to historians. It was shorter which was helpful but also unhelpful since I had less time to word-vomit my memorized facts. My normal…

It’s midnight. I’m very sorry. My history test was today. I thought nothing of it the entire week. It was 3 1/2 hours long. I think I did alright. I came out feeling so tired. I shall have another next Friday — and I will likely be in a similar state as well. Afterwards I…

You’ll never guess the week I’ve had. How are you doing? I finished my first test the day after I last wrote: I think it went alright, since it was open book. Next one is next Friday. I will write you after it, probably incomprehensibly. Anyway. The Wednesday of that test, I learned my best…

Yes, it’s Thursday — you’ll never guess what I’m doing, but I’ll tell you the Friday after this. How are you doing? I got back to England, and the jet lag has never been worse. I am so so tired. I had my first test yesterday: it was open book and lasted 23 hours, but…
