I wouldn't feel guilty or ashamed because
not everyone in this universe was abused
or is being abused at the hand of a sick
parent, whether it be a mother or father.
It is true that the Commandments state
to Honor thy father and thy mother.
In order for me to remain sober and healthy
in mind body and soul, I have had to place
my parents in Proper Hands for Him to care
for and has taken the load off my shoulders.
