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

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…
