I want to express to you how so very sorry I am for what you have had to endure in your life. I have three children and seven grandchildren. I go to extremes to protect them and to know that there are people out there that are so cruel as to hurt the innocence of a child, makes me cry. I am so sorry and want you to know there are people that do care and your mother being the way she was, is not because of you.

I would also like to tell you that reading your experience and others, helps me in so many ways. I currently am depressed, my life not so great through most of it. But when I hear of what others have endured it actually makes me stop and think that if this person can make it through so much then there is a chance for me to make it too. So thank you for sharing and helping me get through another day.

/hugs to you and thank you for the courage of posting.
