Gigi ... i just wanted to point out that to say what you & i have said out loud is very courageous which some may not understand ... Sadly at the hands of our Mother & at the end of the day it has made ' us ' to be strong people & especially extremely kind & deeply compassionate to others ... So, i thank you for opening up & sharing that with me (& everyone else too)

We ALL as Mother's DO what's OUR BEST for our child/children
