and the difference between you giving up your kids and them being taken away (to be placed in FOSTER CARE, mind you) is YOU.

And let's face reality, having the girls taken away would further enable you to be the victim.

That's what you are comfortable being because that is all you have ever known.

But you also now know that that is wrong.

Yet because you are afraid, you will not change.

I'll tell you this much though, if you don't change, you will ALWAYS be afraid.
