Hello There!

[In-Shadows-I-Hide]

My name is Jennifer, aka In-The-Shadows (Shadow), and I am 47 as of 10/24/2024. I have three children, two of whom are grown, and one not so much. My youngest and I have so many things in common, and I can relate to her PTSD, ADHD, and Autism outbursts. She was abused in many of the same ways that I was, and her parents neglected her as mine has done.

I release all that I hide in the shadows down onto paper in the style of poetry. It helps me manage my emotions.

I do hope to be able to share my poetry with you all.

Hi nice to meet you. I echo Agora's reply.

I do need to point out however that its not a good idea to make your date of birth available online especially as your post isn't locked to this community and can go viral.

There are those who trawl the net looking for personal info like this and who will try and scam you.

To lock it find your edit button.
