My 3 year old daughter currently has a fascination with ‘bad guys’.
“Are there bad guys, mom? Are they coming? Will they get me?”
“No baby. There are no bad guys coming to get you. You are safe”
The thing is, there are bad guys – they take on different forms and come in different ways. In my life, the bad guys are alcohol. I thought about the one that killed my mom, the other who beats up my dad every day and the one that’s lurking over my sister. The bad guys are real.
I said a silent prayer that the bad guys don’t come for my girls.
