It just breaks my heart. I'm sure you are just heartbroken.

Let me tell you a little about myself. I have 9 kids and they are from 5 fathers, thanks to the Law of Love. So, I totally understand what you are talking about. I live on the west coast and half of the kids are in college. The last 3 are in school, the youngest is 12. Leaving the F. was probably the hardest thing I ever had to do, trying to raise 8 kids with no father and then remarrying and neither one of us had a skill. We basically lived in poverty for the first 8 years or so since leaving. We still struggle and the kids still struggle, some of the kids wonder who their real father is, the other kids, why the father that left them for his second wife did that, etc., etc. It goes on.

Somehow, we circumvented (well, almost) the sexual abuse that you are talking about, but I know it was happening, I saw it. I have been talking to your cousin, Porcelain Doll quite a lot, you can ask her about me.

Take care, Kristin, I admire you for your spunk and your straightforwardness. You have a lot of courage, good for you!
