Given the repugnant statements from the right regarding the attack on 82 year old Paul Pelosi, I am heartened by the outpouring of sympathy and best wishes for the daughter of Ted Cruz, who like far too many of our young people, seek refuge in self harm.

It’s a hidden epidemic that is all too often swept under the carpet. While there is NOTHING on which I agree with Ted Cruz, I wish his daughter nothing but my best wishes for her full recovery, hoping she receives the help she needs.
