Those people drive me crazy, too

Nothing makes me feel more invalidated than to hear "... but she is still your mother ..." Like that makes it better. I guess some people need to see the world in a certain way and simply reject evidence to the contrary. I have heard about and experienced far too much abuse at the hands of others to have any doubt that ANY person, no matter the relationship, is capable of abuse. There is no group of people that is immune from abusing children.

We must BE the change we wish to see in the world. - Ghandi

Hard to believe

If you were raised in a 'normal' home, some of the abuse is so far out that it seems like it surely must be some kind of demented fantasy. After four kids from foster care, I am shocked, but I never doubt.

The other side of this is a very intense reaction to the goody two shoes who say 'Always paint the birthparents in a positive light'. These are the awful people that did those things to our kids. John
