It is so easy for so many and they have no idea the struggles some of us go through. I resolved to the fact that I would never have kids, then after two miscarriages I got pregnant with twins and have two healthy beautiful girls and was fortunate enough to not have to resort to infertility treatments. If the time is right it will happen. I know that that doens't bring comfort but it is the reality. And although there may be many people out there that simply don't understand how hurtful they are being and many others that just take for granted what they have been so blessed with, please know there are many of us out there that understand your journey, that would never be offended by what you have written, that respect your feelings and struggles and wish for you that in the end you have exactly what you want. I feel very blessed to have my children and am greatful for them every day. And your time hasn't run out yet, my mom had me at 40 after trying for a while and she was a wonderful mom and I was a perfectly healthy child and now adult. You never know what is just around the corner.Cathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464689731386816398.post-25712083443793093082011-11-20T15:31:56.390-08:002011-11-20T15:31:56.390-08:00wow! i was just going to pester you for the next ...wow! i was just going to pester you for the next entry. i always wonder how often teachers have problems with kids/parents claiming abuse. good for you for standing up for yourself. you're doing a fantastic job Cari!<br />hope things are still going well on the romantic front. animaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464689731386816398.post-41545926910888908582011-11-20T07:19:50.501-08:002011-11-20T07:19:50.501-08:00Cari!

To sit in front of not only this woman but also your colleges and remain professional, to keep all that you really wanted to say inside you and not defend yourself at all. The way I see it is, that God defended you because you didn't defend yourself!!!:) HOw difficult of a task you just completed! Wow!! I know how you feel, not exactly but I am going through something at my work place and although I'm not being accused of abuse...in a way it's a similar situation, it's hard for me to believe that my boss is for me and not against me! You did a super job and thank you for sharing!!! It is helping me to know exactly what to do this week when I have my "meeting"!
