Wowwwwwww!!!! Thank you for this essay! Firt off, my condolences for the sudden passing of your mother. I lost my mother four years ago and I'm still going through it. Secondly, I hope your health improves to the point where you can take better care of yourself and your daughter. As for her father, men need to step up for their kids. As for all the other issues, stealing your ideas, fast shaming, and threats, don't let thse ignorant idiots get to you. You are braver than you know and stronger than you believe.
