Very easily possible, Sandra. Also rather sick, in my opinion.
To me that's like another thread here about rape and molestation. I have
lived through it, and I would NOT want to see other people suffer, just
because I had to. Pain does not make you stronger, it makes you hurt.

I love your stories about your kids. I was reading the Homeschooling Book
of Answers (which Army interlibrary loan just found for me....3 months
later!) and had to smile at the pictures of the youngest two kids Linda
Dobson had comments from...Marty and Kirby Dodd at 8 and 11. Bet they've
grown a lot since then!
