My mother-in-law, father-in-law, Kevin's family, my cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and neighbors, you all saw the warning signs long before I did, and you did what you could. You wanted to help, but I pushed you away. My mother and father, I have been utterly wretched to you. You have offered me unconditional love, and for that I have offered you unconditional contempt.

My siblings and their spouses, because of my decision to roll around in a pigsty, I've dragged your families through the mud in public. Yet, when I desired to return as the prodigal sister, unlike the prodigal's brother in the Bible, you seek to step with my parents. and ran out to greet me. Your capacity to love is unprecedented.

Kevin, my husband of more than 23 years, you are the love of my life. I'm so sorry to leave you to finish what we both started together. The ending of our marriage is a tragedy. a little ratchet on my heart and I know I'll never be able to undo. To my babies, my six little chicks, you're a part of me. I was the mama duck who was consistently leading you to safety. I can still remember

Over the past four years, I was in a deep undercurrent that led us to danger. I was in a world linked to darkness knowingly. I was so disoriented that I believed dark was light and light was wrong. I would do anything in this world for you. My will was to sacrifice all things masterfully manipulated into something very ugly. I took from you all that was soft, and safe, and good.

I took from you your mother. How dear followers must have been for you. And I will still cry for her and her tender souls. You are so precious to me. I'm sorry. My choice to live in fear of the world has created a great vulnerability and a blind spot for me where I have broken hearts and I've caused people to suffer and I have betrayed sacred trust.

Watching my community respond to my charges with justice and mercy and grace and love is all the more evidence to me how wrong I've been. This world is full of really good people. And finally, I'm sorry for twisting God's word and distorting His doctrines. I am humbled and willing to serve a prison sentence as long as it takes.

Has your mother ever ruined your life? She was turned on by her pet and now she feels like she's been turned on by her own mother. And her feelings are legitimate and she has every right to be mad. I should have deliberated a little bit more with Sherry and told her, Hey, this is what I'm thinking of doing a little differently. What do you think?
