That's horrible!
I'm really sorry your mother was so evil. I can't imagine that kind of hurt. I'd hug you if I could.

That's a really good idea!
Thank you, I'm going to look into that. Also, thank you for responding. It's nice to hear that people have gone through what I'm going through and that it's all for the best.
I get upset when I open up to people and they think I'm a monster because "all moms are awesome", regardless of what…

Thank you.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate your input!

I'd really like to, but I just fell off my dad's insurance in march and have no way of paying for even one visit to see a counselor. I wish I did. Do you know if there are any poor college student options?

1.) I have awesome hair that looks fantastic no matter what I do with it (no joke. I could even rock hobo hair and it would look fabulous).

Never asked for advice here before, but here goes!

his intent was to wrestle, however, not kill. Which I think is a big difference. While he shouldn't have played with a child so much smaller than him, it was an accident and was not what he meant to do.

I agree that children don't have the same amount of understanding as adults do, I'd be crazy if I didn't, but I don't think that they are completely without any sense of understanding. Children can understand death and violence to some degree, and if they have experienced it, then they have greater understanding than…

I agree that it could be something in their environment, but it could just as equally be how their brains are wired.

It is not always the environment. Sometimes, certain peoples brains are just wired differently, and then we see those same people do terrible things.

By now you know that they aren't being tried as adults, but after reading yourreplies to people I'm a little confused to your stance.

I hate to say this, but your fiance sounds like a tool (from what you wrote, I obviously don't know him).

I actually just went to the mall last weekend with my friend and her 2 yr old so she could try to get a picture.

YES!

That's so nice!

If he is going to stand up there and apologize for anything, it should be for the crime he was sentenced with. Nobody has to forgive him, but his apology shouldn't be for getting caught, it should be for committing the crime, and what that has done to the victim and her family.

"I would truly like to apologize to [redacted], her family, my family and the community. No picture [of the rape] should have been sent around, let alone even taken".

ugh, not with my BF, it makes him more sensitive and excited and then he comes too fast, because he isn't as responsive or he's too into it to slow down on time.

This may just be my experience, but I feel like Dad's are the best at little girls hair.
