A_B...I am sure your friend was a good mother and wonderful person.Although I know she didn't want to go - I am sure there is peace, light and love at the end of "the struggle."
Blessings to her family in her physical absence - her spirit will continue to comfort them all in times of trouble.
Thousands of mothers fill the ranks on this "adult entertainment" site and countless others.
My former sister-in-law informed me that my daughter's father still had another family (he is a firefighter in another part of the state) about four months into the marriage. I had the marriage anulled and my daughter's father signed his rights away. However, he still sends a $780 check every month toward her college fund out of some sense of obligation.
I wanted that $$$ to be her nest egg and certainly didn't want to live off of it when my mortgage company and the job market collapsed.
I've said it many times before, although I came into the FBSM world out of desperation, I managed to turn my business into something really beautiful and made a lot of friends along the way.
NO PARENT should EVER have their child taken away because they "provide."
Only parents who are neglectful and/or abusive toward their children should have their children taken away for their own safety.
As for myself and the providers that I know - we work only when our children are at school and/or in the care of others.
Shoot.
Most of of the providers I know are are involved in their children's school/sports activities, Girl/Boy Scouts, take piano lessons, etc.
Some of the more successful providers are able to put their children through college and private schools as a result of the people we love and friends we make along our journey.
Idiot crackheads who f*** strangers in their own homes with their children locked in another room should DEFINITELY have their children taken away.
However, to assume that the above horrific situation is a blanket assessment of any provider's life (who is also a mother) is sheer stupidity.
It is because of what we do that our families do not live along the riverbanks, in cars and other crappy situations in this sh**can economy.
Women like us are stronger than a lot of people will ever know.
TO ALL THE PROVIDER-MOMMAS EVERYWHERE!!
It's always Summer at my place! xoxo
