[QUOTE="Andy, post: 165658, member: 5096"] That just breaks my heart. So many parents are so cruel!!! I find it interesting on the 2nd article that the mom had a terrible childhood in that her mom abused her. I always hate it when people use their backgrounds as an excuse because: 1. There are so many people out there that are just the opposite that have the same background; "I try my best to be extra kind to people because no one was ever kind to me growing up so I know what it is like." 2. Everyone can change. If you don't like the type of person you are becoming, you can change. Except for children, they don't ususally know that there is help for them. They don't know they can call the police if parents are out of line. 3. People just have to get past their own pride and say, "I don't care if other people think I am a terrible person, I am going to own up to it, put it in the public eye and do what is best for my child. I would rather have them judge me as I am now than when I get to the point of actually harming/killing my own child. Maybe I can change before that happens. It was so extremely difficult for me to put difficult child in a psychiatric hospital. I was so afraid people would look to it as my fault, my stupidity of not knowing how to parent, if I was a better parent this would not have happened. But I told myself that I did not matter in this case, that difficult child needed this and I didn't care what anyone thought of me for doing this. I put my pride away for difficult child's health.
