Here’s another article that focuses on the “schools”

If they didn't fuck up my back I'd wear heels. Sometimes. 

Wow haven’t felt so ugly/self-conscious about my aversion to wearing high heels like, ever. :'(

Sorry for the late reply - I forget to check my kinja notifications.

Two strangers on the internet are proud of you! In addition, your writing style is superb & I'm super impressed by your description of how ptsd feels. I can relate. <3

This is a really good & terrifying story. If it is true I want to let you know that you can get away. Just decide that you can do it and let the universe or your guardian angels or god/dess help you.
