    • Thank you so much, John. Unlike physical ailments, mental ones are still far from being understood. And those suffering pass their pain and miseries on. Monster is a convenient word but so inappropriate.

  2. Dang, that’s sinister, and amazingly crafted. It’s unfortunate, yet your write expresses a reality for some people. I am hoping not too many. 😅 Awesome write, Terveen. 😊
