Let me preface this by saying, I have always admired and vastly appreciated the community on this blog, the ability to allow moms/parents to state their opinions freely and without cause for ridicule or strict judgment has always made this space a special one.

Please know that your maturity, intellect, kindness, and compassion for your fellow man, including myself are much appreciated.

Thank you for allowing me to share my story freely. Likewise if ever any one of you wish to share your story please email, momonthegoinholytoledo@gmail.com.
