I think the reason we don't have a good, legitimate, kool-aid free group here is because we still live in the "Bible Belt". Hopefully we can pull enough of us out of the closet to actually form some kind of support network...even if it is a sporadic meeting at a Starbucks!!In Blind Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11228999385419721633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2902279825256365481.post-89770124235533196522011-09-09T18:02:52.487-05:002011-09-09T18:02:52.487-05:00I live in Austin, TX and your post just made me te...I live in Austin, TX and your post just made me tear up. I have felt the same so often. Where are they? why is there no (true) support group? I often think the "support groups" that exist are just another coercive tactic...keep them brainwashed the rest of their lives so we can keep selling babies kind of thing. Ugh.<br />Thank you for this post. You should feel empowered...you are not and never were trash. You and only you deserved to raise your child.
