Thank you all!
Liv, I am so sorry about what happened to you. I'm actually an attorney and practice family law, immigration, dv, etc. so I'm familiar with what can happen in regard to parental kidnapping. However I can not imagine how the parent who doesn't get to see their kids for years feels. I honestly think I'd go insane if my kids were kept away from me and I had no idea where they were or what was happening to them. You're very strong!
Lightseeker, I just randomly searched some of the 500+ pages of posts on here last night and there was one posted by a girl named Callie, I think (it was late, can't be sure) and you responded to her with a poem. The poem talked about touching anger, then the heart of sadness, then seeing the blue sky. I can't exactly remember it but it helped me, so thank you.
