Too much evil

SALEM, Mass. — A woman has been charged with withholding cancer medication from her 8-year-old autistic son, who prosecutors say likely will die because the cancer has returned

There is too much evil in this world. Why do people like this have children? Stories like this fill me with helplessness and useless anger.

There are so many wonderful things about being a parent, we hear about ad nauseum. I want to tell you about the bad thing. It opens and grows your heart leaving it exposed and vulnerable.You start life out with a weak flutter of emotions revolving all around meeting your own needs and desires.

You feel that core splinter into pieces when you first become a parent. All the self absorption rushes out, and you are flooded with overwhelming new feelings.
When children are abused like this it hurts you in this new raw skin.
