Conversations With Marva: On My Mind…

  • Believer · 7 months ago
    I've learned in my mature years that love is expressed and defined differently for everyone.

    Have you ever seen the movie Evening? There's a great scene with a mother and daughter that blessed my socks off. Check it out sometime!

    I've learned that too...the sad thing is that I think we are given opportunities to learn that, and some of us never do.

    Hey there!

    This is really deep...

    I think that this 17-year old was so mentally battered that she was unable to make rational choices for herself and for her own safety and that of her child...

    What about the choices made PRIOR to her being in this situation? I am not one that believes that having a child at a young age ruins your life...it does however make it harder. Don't compound that by thinking that you have to bow to some indignant fool who is no good for you.

    This is such a tragedy..I myself have been a victim of domestic violence at a young age so I know that when you fear someone they have an overwhelming control over you but I overcame and said, "You deserve so much more."

    This poor child became a victim as well as her mother. It is even more dangerous once you have your mind made up that you will no longer tolerate this abusive person. This is such a tragedy and even though it did this terrible thing I just wonder what may have happened to him in his life that made him such a mean and anger person. It takes a LOT of anger and meanness to kill someone and an innocent little baby is just a horrible act.

    My mom died when I was only sixteen years old and it shook my soul. She was a wonderful mother and every year when mother's day rolls around I smile because I have wonderful memories and I always tell anyone that I can CHERISH your mother because you only get ONE.

    Peace and blessings Marva "HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!" to you :)

    Hey Ms. Lina...I agree, this situation is definitely a tragedy. I am proud of you for being able to overcome your obstacles.

    Thank you for the Mother's Day wish...I hope yours was filled with loving memories of your mom...
