They all leave the same scars, I know. I hide my own. In my Young Adult, If I Knew Then , Angel suffers in silence.

When we would walk up to a house decorated for the evening, with things jumping out from the bushes, I was the one running away, screaming. My children would laugh at me and continue on thei...
