((((OFC)))) There are so many things in my family that mirror my family. I have 3 younger brothers and a younger sister. Fortunately only the youngest brother has children (that I know of). But he abused his two oldest kids really badly. I could not be around and when our father died social services was looking very carefully at the family.
I really believe that some of us remember what it felt like to be that defenseless child. And we make a promise not to pass it on.
