And they gave you a serpent instead? If you asked them for bread would they give you stones?

Yes...I learned VERY quickly not to ask for anything...ever. The more I desired or needed it, the more it was withheld or something nasty was given in its place.

I'm sorry that you have had this experience. It shouldn't be our family that causes us pain but rallies around to lift each other up.

@Soundsofsilence: Thank you. No it shouldn't, but those experiences have made me who I am today. I wouldn't have chosen them, but I'm glad that because of my experiences, I can now help others. :-) 🤗

@Lakesidepoet: Now that's a great way to look at it. If we could all do that the world would be such a better place.

You've given me a smile, thanks
