When I was 37, with middleschool children at home, I went to graduate school to study counseling. If you had met me then you would have seen a perfectionistic, seemingly happy young women. But in reality, I hid a lot of shame and massive amounts of unprocessed trauma....

I told her if she couldn't get a ride back to the airport with some of the other guests we would be happy to take her.
