I am awed by the people you all have become, despite the abuse at the hands of the very people that were supposed to protect and love you no matter what.
I have been there for my Kasey, who suffered through years of abuse and neglect...but her story is not mine to tell. I will say one thing that I see in my head quite often; no person should live with the memory of their mother chasing them through their house at 8 years old with a knife.
She is an incredible 3rd parent to our daughter, a person who loves me unconditionally, and a loving and supportive friend. Kasey ( who loves working around people), changed her job schedule to work from home when my mom needed her, so that I could continue to work and take care of our daughter during the day.
Where she found that deep well of goodness inside of her I'll never know, I'm just glad that out of all the people on this earth, she loves me!
