Mommy's little demon deserves no Angel.

Thank you. I think that the most important thing for me is that I'm no longer excusing that behavior. She was 17 and he was 21 when I came along, and they'd been married almost a year. Both had crappy parents, so no good examples, and for a long time, I justified their poor behavior that way. But then I realized, maybe at first that was an excuse, except I did everything in my power not to treat my kids the way I was treated, so why wouldn't her primary goal have been to protect her children? Smh. I totally agree about psych tests and natural birth control, lol. I wouldn't be here then, but hey, at least they couldn't have done the things they did.
