Hey, Soren!

The week rolls around again. How are you enjoying the new year? Nothing much is happening here. Mom and Aaron are going to a First Friday celebration down town, but I’m staying home to watch documentaries about polar exploration — my new way of dealing with winter around here.

I must tell you something sad this year: I won’t be drawing you a birthday present. I am simply too tired. Perhaps on your birthday I’ll send you some vague drawing I could wrangle into present-shaped, but I can’t make a portrait this year. I’m sorry.

I’m rather stressed for little reason. I have a hard time sleeping and sleep too late. I have another therapy call soon — maybe that will help. Is the seasonal depression catching you too? I hope you have something to do about it. I cried just thinking about a song that reminds me of Mom (Mel) yesterday, so it’s kicking me (it was ‘Hard Times’ by Ethel Cain). Other than that — what else to do. I’m trying to write but it’s not coming out right. No structure. No matter the case: we have Yum sauce, and I made pasta yesterday, so things are fairly well. I love you. I hope I’ve not disappointed you today. Know at least that my pencil skills have degraded and a new portrait would probably be worse than the ome before it. Sleep well.

With love,

Alice

Jessica

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

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…

Back from Disneyland now, going to fly soon, will the planes ever end? Probably not. How are you doing? Mom found a picture of you online from some article about prom. It was the first photo of you I’ve seen since you were thirteen. Or maybe I was thirteen. I had to do a double-take…

I’m writing this on Thursday because we’re gonna be doing the airport tomorrow. We’ve been at Disney since Tuesday. Tuesday was weird since we were at DCA the whole day (unprecedented), but not bad. Cousin Laura hadn’t arrived yet so we did stuff we otherwise wouldn’t care about like the big rollercoaster and Ferris wheel….

And also Mom’s birthday. And also Weed Day. Mom made me a little basket of treats — it was very nice. Do you still do anything today? It’s nice to have a little something. Not much has happened in the past few days. We watched a public egg hunt where Aaron and his band were…
