Even if it was a hundred years ago, two hundred years ago ... in spite of the laws and the social situation, there were still women who would have chosen to find another way, rather than allow anyone to treat their children as Edgar did. <br /><br />Of course Burt couldn't blame his mother; that would have been too painful for him, and he already had enough hurt and disappointment. <br /><br />Love your account.Blondi Blathershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656970490122824720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-27856629219704363692011-09-23T17:42:51.496-02:302011-09-23T17:42:51.496-02:30Tears flowed.
