Ironically, about a week after this last incident, over supper, her & I had a discussion about date rape and abuse by boyfriends...when I questioned her about it.. her response... "if he really loves me, he won't push/shove, hit, jerk me around, etc... I'd dump his ass and let everyone know how he treats women."
uh-huh... good for you honey, now eat your veggies, no.. no.. those aren't tears..I just need to be excused to get this piece of lint out of my eye.
Not sure how much I'll keep posting. I just wanted those who were reading along, to know where things were at.
Out of the mouths of babes. I hope behind the tears your heart was soaring because you see that you are doing a great job as a strong, single, working mom.
One day D14 & I were watching a show, & she said "sometimes the worst stuff happens to people when they are kids, I wonder if that's because God knows they can handle it, & become a really great person" I had lint in my eye too.
Hugs & love
