Hey, I am new to all of this--so I kind of feel like I am intruding...

But that was really beautiful, and it really put into words what I have been trying to say to my mother for years.

I am really sorry, you felt all of that, but know that there are many other people out there that grew up in similar situations and can relate in one way or another. In other words--a support system.

But also know, today, what you wrote helped me out more than you will ever know.

Thank you. ed71976@appstate.edu <font color="blue"> </font> <font color="blue"> </font>
