ok, alittle background on me; I have panick disorder and depression, single mom, my son's father is a recovering heroin addict and my mother is a recovering alcoholic. My parents just separated after 30 years and I am alone and taking care of my son. I want to write a book, but I don't have the courage. I think I am scared to bring up the past. Or maybe the subject is too broad..?Help

Hi there, would love to help out. What is the subject on? You mentioning about fear of your past, I am thinking it is about something in your life that you would like to get out there.

From experience, I was writing on the topic of dead beat parents, the drawbacks and benefits and the healing aspect of it and it laid dormant in my filing cabinet for 11 years until i healed that part of my life as it gave me a new focus on it.
