Oh my , very powerful, sad and heartfelt , I married young at 14 yrs old two children by 17 yrs of age. I had my first out of what I thought was love and my second out of religious reasons as well , I was not the type to have abortions. I have now 4 grandchildren and the oldest is 17 then 14, 10 and 6 . I dont have the closeness I want with my children , it is with the two youngest grandchildren. I called my daughter today and asked her why she does not visit me , she said … what do you mean ? Sad I did not know how to explain a simple visit :( , thank you for your awesome post on this site I will be back to read more.
