I have visited your blog on other occasions, and have been interested in what you have to say, but I am 20 years into a not-very-satisfying reunion with my lost son, and a lot of the reunion story things I feel sort of 'been there done that' about, either rightly or wrongly, and they don't capture my (admittedly very limited) attention. I apologize for that. As I have been reading this one and then on to some others, I find much more to entice me back. <br /><br />RE: this post...what a hate-filled place YA can be! This is so very typical of a lot of the contempt that is evidenced. I find it interesting that when a woman is up against a wall, with absolutely zero options, and surrenders to the only possible outcome, she is still held accountable for her 'choice'. To me, it all seems remarkably similar to the mentality of blaming a rape victim for her choice to wear a provocative outfit, suggesting that by doing so she 'asked for it.' Further evidence of blaming the victim, only with much more up to date and PC language.<br /><br />I will be back, Lori. Thanks for this.<br /><br />Sandy YoungAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17088288948654864117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4555494885427182657.post-30670972247667778272009-02-26T18:32:00.000-08:002009-02-26T18:32:00.000-08:00Oooooohhhh, that makes me mad.Oooooohhhh, that makes me mad.Being Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18191598836451286017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4555494885427182657.post-69111664322797017302009-02-24T10:48:00.000-08:002009-02-24T10:48:00.000-08:00Desi, It's hard to be who we are isn't it?
