Everyone does the best they can at the time. I wish I'd told... I wish I'd said no. But I did what I did... and what I believed was right for me and I have to respect that little girl I was for surviving that hell... even if I would have prefered she/I did it another way.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
