Yeah, it could be very depressing. The reason I stopped volunteering is because I saw too much, and just got burned out. But I would do it again if I had it to do over.
Thank you... the oldest is bigger than me and is nowhere near done growing. My second will be small like me. My third is a stunningly beautiful child - unnervingly beautiful - takes THE WORST photographs... The other three tease her by saying she looks Mexican (she is dark like me LOL) and my baby is the most empathetic human being on the planet and has a nature most like me - wakes up with a smile and goes to sleep with one.
I know it's hard to believe because of all the silly nonsense I post up that they are real, but they are VERY REAL... My girls are the most amazing little creatures and I am thankfull for every day that I am given the privlige and honor to be their mother.
Thank you... the oldest (Erika) is bigger than me and at 13 1/2 nowhere near done growing. My second (Her given name is Kristina but she is my Nini - the pasty white kid) will be small like me. My third (Monika) is a stunningly beautiful child - unnervingly beautiful - takes THE WORST photographs... The other three tease her by saying she looks Mexican (she is dark like me LOL) and my baby (Marianna) is the most empathetic human being on the planet and has a nature most like me - wakes up with a smile and goes to sleep with one.

I volunteered with a shelter for abused women for almost ten years. It was one of the most rewarding experiences in my life, and also one of the most devastating. To see someone who has been through absolute hell get their life back together is incredible, but then to realize what they went through to get to that point is equally devastating. Then there are the ones who didn't make it.
It takes a special kind of person to do that work. I don't think I could handle it...I'm sensitive to other peoples moods and feelings, and would probably wind up getting too involved.
