Re: When I was your age...
I can relate to a lot of what you wrote. You are an inspiration to have made it to where you are. (I wonder is your DS is a type 2 with his interest in your childhood!)

Re: When I was your age...
Thank you for sharing that. So much of it I can relate to. And I wish more people could come at parenting like this.

Re: When I was your age...
I feel like I have these moments constantly. I'll never forget the revulsion I felt when I looked at my then three year old'daughter and thought about something that had started around then. I had thought about it as a non-parent, and it was horrible, but it was having a child that age to hold a little mirror up to the absolute horror of it.

Re: When I was your age...
I read it yesterday, Reb, and was and all at once. You're amazing, your healing makes my heart overflow with tears and the way you're raising The Boy is inspiring.
