I disagree. I am so sick of covering for moms and saying they did the best they can, but the men who hurt us didnt. I think its splitting. To me.. even if it was difficult and they couldnt address it, they could get help in other ways. I think we revere women/mothers to the point of saying they are trying so hard, but situations prevented them from helping us. However, the men who have the urges to hurt... we'd never make that same excuse for. This is not a rant against you alexandra.. so forgive me. I'm just fed up with making excuses and ppl telling me that about my own mom. Everyone wants to excuse her.. and I dont understand their internal motivation and drive to keep me from being mad at her.
