(((Abs))) - consequences suck, no two ways about it.
I don't have kids, so can only imagine how hard this is.
When I first started dealing with my consequences, I was angry at a few people. I eventually realized that I was REALLY angry and disgusted with myself. I let myself get into codie relationships and, though I didn't see it for what it was at the time, with my new knowledge, I see that I brought the consequences on myself.
I'd blamed my XABF's, the judicial system, my geneticss..you name it. It all boiled down to...I did what I did, and now I have to pay the price.
Bigs hugs and prayers,
Amy
