MHL,

I'm with the others. I truly don't understand how a parent, (man or woman)can live with themselves when they do this type of thing to their children.

To me, this is the difference between a MLC spouse and a WAS. Many times the MLC spouse is so wrapped up in themselves that no one else seems to matter, not even their own kids.

I also have to wonder if this is the reason some of them don't wake up. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to realize the damage I caused to my own flesh and blood.

I, also, can not believe that the man I watched tenderly care for our newborns on up, would have ever have gone completely opposite and run from the responsibility of raising them the rest of the way up. Even to the extent of blowing them off while they were crying to him about how he'd hurt them.

I know of the anger of which you speak. I understand not loving or wanting the spouse anymore. I can't and won't ever understand not wanting your own children. Not only not wanting them, but repeatedly inflicting pain on them with actions and words.

Thank God your children have you MHL. My thoughts and prayers for you and your kids.
