Im 26 and im really just growing in to my own. Im realizing the thing my mother did at an age your children are now. I am son, like any other, like yours.. And your a mother.. they might not be able to say it and even if they do, they might not be able to express or even understand the overhelming thanks they have, but for for all who dont have it in them to say to you like many other wonderful mothers just trying to be worth while to others and self sufficient , Thank you, you make all the difference.And most importantly your effort is greatly appreciated. -Q ThreadingRoots.blogspot.com-Q.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16176158385111507485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650845911079200343.post-33616981941546074032007-11-23T14:34:00.000-05:002007-11-23T14:34:00.000-05:00Thank you all for your thoughtful posts.

I am taking control of my life. What was done to me as achild was horrific, but as an Adult I get todecide who I want to be. I define me. And everything that has happened has its place and I give it all the reverence it deserves. I am moving forward and if I have my way...and I will, I'll be stronger and lighter!Babz Rawls Ivyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04059921674059371076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650845911079200343.post-4559078541238021972007-11-23T13:08:00.000-05:002007-11-23T13:08:00.000-05:00I'm really sorry about what happened to you during...I'm really sorry about what happened to you during your childhood.

The fact that you went through that kind of HORROR and still came out the strong, black woman that you are today is nothing short of a miracle. Every post you write makes me fall in love with you more and more.<BR/><BR/>Would you give me your e-mail address? If you're not comfortable putting it on here for the world to see, could you send me a line at my e-mail address: confessionsofbb@gmail.com so that I can e-mail you back? I wanna talk to you about something private.<BR/><BR/>P.S.

Noticed I...I "hope" this is my last year being fat. Noticed I didn't say that I was determined to make it my last year. I'm only embarrassed about my weight when I see my parents and sister who live 500 miles away. People where I live have only seen me at this weight and don't judge me (openly). I go back and forth between lap-band and going for it on my own. It's a tough decision. Don't know if I'm ready to focus that much on me. I'll be checking for your online group. I may be ready then.Sister Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16398081637793847169noreply@blogger.com
