Maybe one mistake i'm making is in comparing my mom to myself. When i think of some of the things my parents did, i know i would never, EVER have responded the way they did. So it is just very hard for me to understand why they did certain things.

Like when i got SA by my neighbor, I would have confronted that man hands down, no doubt whatsoever. I would have called my daughter's friends' parents too, to let them know of the danger. I would have wanted to make sure my daughter wasn't emotionally/mentally harmed by what happened. I would never have just said "Well, don't go over there anymore" and then dropped the whole thing.

I just don't understand that. It's hard for me to believe that any parents who did that really loved their child. So when i think about it, it scares me that perhaps they didn't really love me.

But maybe I'm wrong.
