After enduring a bad marriage to an abusive alcoholic I am now with the man of my dreams and have the famiy I have always wanted. Almost. I have two SC and I don't want them around. They create chaos and disrupt our entire home whenever they visit. And they are emotionally vacant and detached in a way that reminds me of Damien. I feel terrible. That's really an understatement. As a mother to my children I have worked hard to be a good parent. I spend almost my entire previous marriage shielding my children from everything and being a parent who functioned like a single parent.
