I know. That's why I tried to say you didn't even trigger me or anything. Just that I get the only child stuff and the ages you just happened to mention made me think back a lot on my situation and my daughter's, an "only" too....
I totally understand what you posted about your mother and suitable guardians, etc. When mine was little, I at least, thank God, did have 2 friends I trusted enough, and whose parenting styles I agreed with, that I always knew they would be "the ones,"...sounds like you don't have that. It's scary, for sure.
My post over on psychology should go a long way to explaining why this particular tangent came so easily to me yesterday. Loss, and leaving and clinging onto connections and people you love FOREVER (if that were possible) seems to be the theme of the moment. Didn't mean to take it so far, but Babble does that to me sometimes...thanks for your patience.
