They want to be seen and heard.
And they really feel that they haven't been seen and heard.
And that what's happened to them hasn't been acknowledged.
And so when anyone says to me, I want to write my story, I'll say, do you want to be heard and be sure of that?
That's always what I go back with.
And I say, don't tell me.
Go away and then come back in a while and tell me that.
Tell me again that you want to write your story.
But you don't have to ask permission.
I had that.
I had it from two people, from my son, which was really hard, and then from my brother, my eldest brother.
Now, I had to then make a decision about whether their feelings, more important than my feelings, about my desire to do it and the reason why I was doing it.
So, yeah, the family decision, for me, the decision wasn't about money.
My advance was terrible.
It was about the reason why I did it.
And the reason was that I actually felt like I could help.
And I had a story that I thought could impact society a little bit and could make people think a little bit about how they think about poverty or how they think about bodies and what we're doing to women.
I actually had to go to my son, which was harder than my brother, because my brother doesn't make any decisions that are based on my preferences or my needs or whatever.
And like he's done things that have affected my life as well.
But my son, like he was just concerned that I was going to make his granddad look really bad or that I was going to be put into the public eye and treated really badly.
