(((((((leslie and her littles)))))), if ok.

you are such a beautiful person, leslie, and i would never ever have even guessed at the horrors you have gone through, to have come out in the wonderful way that you are. i am so, so so deeply sorry and sad at what you had to go through as a small child.

you have been so brave in opening up here, and i want to applaud you for that. my (already high!) esteem for you has only risen further .

are your littles starting to get interested in the idea of letting someone else in at all? it sounds like you are ready, and maybe with your help they can start considering it a bit?
