Acceptance May 2, 2022 – Posted in: Blog, Bullying, Short Story

Short Story – Part 5 Emma’s chocolate covered ‘floordrobe’ could have been a disaster but it was the catalyst for changing her mindset.

A minute earlier as I was walking down the stairs I could hear movement coming from my daughter’s bedroom so I went in to say ‘good morning’. Little did I know it would be anything but a good morning. I could see the fear on Emma’s face. Wide eyes,…
