((((((Sylver))))))) I can totally see where you are coming from. I'm sorry your mother didn't do her job as a parent and protect you.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I was referring more to physical neglect. (Not to discount what your mother did- because that was also neglectful, Sylver). I mean like providing a clean, safe home and caring for physical needs. It seems like the mother is generally held more responsible for this than the father- even though it should be the responsibility of BOTH parents to care for their children. Know what I mean?
