As alway, here with support. I remember vividly the angst you lived through as this reality unfolded in you lives.

Just watched the doc and was moved by you, Kerry. I literally googled the phrase, “I want to give Kerry Draper a hug” 😅 and your substack came up. I’d love to hear more of your journey. Your heart is so clearly big and pure. You have a voice and a story and should absolutely share it. One of the best books I ever read was Sue Klebold’s book about her son and Columbine. It’s such an overlooked voice…the voice of those who care/cared for these troubled kids. Its colors the overall picture and keeps it from being so black and white. We must move to understand more, as our kids disappear further into fake worlds created and curated for them by machines. I encourage you to keep going! I’m praying for you and your family. By the way, I’m also a Draper!

Thank you for taking the time to read and to share such kind words. I receive that with gratitude.

As I continue writing, it will be for one reason only — to reduce suffering and to keep the story from becoming black and white. Many lives are affected, and I try to hold that carefully.

I appreciate your encouragement, and your prayers mean more than you know.

And hello, fellow Draper. 🙂
