Awesome post @paulag. I used to think I was pretty black and white. I am finding out there is more gray to life than most of us realize. It is amazing that your friend despite his tragedy is able and willing to try to carry on to make sure his son knows his mother. Sadly, it's the black and white that probably pushed her the direction she chose. More than likely in her mind she saw no other option. She did not want her child to grow up being ridiculed, being different and the sort. So since she wasn't what is considered normal, she didn't want the world to be mean to her. (At least I'm really hoping it's that and not the other to where she didn't want to deal.)

I've already made @lynncoyle1 cry once today. Which is one too many. I completely agree her and @briancorteau have an amazing dynamic, love and so much more. I honestly love them both to pieces. If anyone has not ready any of @briancorteau's posts to his wife and @lynncoyle1's you really need to. This is how a marriage should be. IMO. This is the type of relationship you should dream of having :) Not a Disney fairytale.
