Скачать или смотреть The House I Defended for 40 Years — And the Truth I Finally Admitted

Some choices don’t break all at once.
They wear down slowly, year by year, until you realize they’ve shaped an entire life.

For decades, I defended a home in the valley that I believed defined who I was. I called it strength. I called it vision. I called it sacrifice.
But sometimes, what we defend the hardest is the very thing that keeps someone else from feeling free.

This is a quiet, first-person story about pride, love, and the moment you finally stop justifying the cold — and reach across the table instead.
