Bitter lullaby

 

Sweetheart… you’re my flesh and blood, and I love you beyond words… like any mother… but I’m so scared for you… Life is not all that it’s cracked up to be.  It can be nasty.

I’ve been in a suicidal mind too often not to know this.  It’s hard to be suicidal when you’ve given life to a little being…  You wonder if that little thing will suffer as much as you have… and if so… what do you tell them at night?  Everything will be alright?  It’s so hard to lie to your little one…
