Wow, what a piece Ann. I hope you've managed to get rid of his 'voice' in your head and have replaced it with your own. You are awesome - just keep swimming as they say (and writing obviously!)

Swimming, writing and talking... no, it's not totally gone - yet. These bullies know where to hit the softest and most vulnerable spots, don't they? But I'm getting there.

You’re an exceptional writer, even more so to be able to be able to allow us to join you on this hugely personal journey. I am hooked, and always cheering you on. I know you’ve come so far and you have so much more to do. Xx

Taking us with you on your inner work feels such a gift, Ann, thank you. I hope Jay’s voice shrinks until it’s small as a mote of dust and as silent. Then it can be swept away, back to the distant past you’ve left behind.

Thank you Kate! His voice is heard more rarely and, when it does come up, I can choose to walk away. That is the best revenge.
