Thank you! Somebody understands!

Of course I'm being facetious about my family. (BTW, "facetious" was my dad's favorite word, and his death anniversary is Aug. 1, so I appreciate the positive and amusing memory opportunity ). They irritate me sometimes, but when the chips were down, they came through.

I would have given everything I had, ever had, and ever would have had to be able to raise my son. His mom helped my healing along a good deal by finding me, but I will never get those years back. It frosts me no end that there are so many people in this world who would love, cherish and adore a child and yet some consider them disposable.

Sky, I respectfully disagree. I think Ms. Yates knew exactly what she was doing. I think she should pay for it. I don't think she should be allowed to use "I'm sorry, I just went mental for a minute while I coldly slaughtered my five young children." She doesn't deserve a psych ward. I thought they should have fried her the first time, frankly. Like I said, I have a bug up my butt about this, and I apologize if I sound vengeful, but I am. I have been sentenced to a lifetime of grief and despair for making a choice I should not have had to make. If ol Andrea couldn't handle her kids, she could have given them to someone who could. She chose to kill them instead. Maybe God will throw the book at her, since the justice system didn't.
