And most importantly, they make shitty mothers. I know that from experience. My childhood was pretty much the same (re mother wanting an abortion, then being thrown around relatives, eventually ending up with her and being severely abused, not specific acts of abuse) as that of Gabriel Fernandez.

Now that I am an adult I understand my mother was deeply wounded herself, and didn't know how to care for herself either. But knowing that does not really help.

I'm sorry to hear about that. Hope you are well nowadays.

Thank you, I appreciate the sentiment. I'm a lot better than I used to be, but I'm still not normal.
