I am so sorry that you went through that, Candy. You didn't deserve it. I am afraid I can relate all too well what you having to deal with but moms were once little girls and it is likely they were abused too. I know my mother was physically abused. If you feel like talking about it; feel free to send me im here or whatever those things are called. I feel that more mothers are abusers than we know and more abuse in ways that shouldn't be coming from a woman than we are able to accept.
