Back in my day adults were such liars and cowards, all the while demanding that they receive automatic respect as well as honesty from the children,. And what good did it do them and the children they lied to? Ridiculous behaviour, Such a screwed up generation. And they have the cheek to refer to young people today as 'snowflakes'.
If only people would have told the truth instead of lying so glibly; imagine how much heartache would have been prevented.
What a story, I so feel sorry, that this happened to families all over the world! Nobody has the right to keep children away from their parents, never mind who takes care of them!!
I hope she lives to 110 with all her wits so she can enjoy her new found family!!
Indeed! Sounds like typical male controlling behaviour, add to that spiteful and vindictive. Heartbreaking for two little girls and their mother. ❤
Bless this poor sweet woman. The heartache! Turi give her a hug from all of us in Canada.
Thank you so much for posting this followup. I am pleased Jean’s family has expanded so happily.
Beautiful story. Thank you for sharing. ❤
What a beautiful soul!
A positively beautiful story.
