Moms to Monsters

The article about Hope Ybarra is here if you would like to read it.  Hope Ybarra's story This article makes me feel mad and also sad that a mother could do that to their child and their family. Especially with her daughter being such a young age  she doesn't know whats  going on and is just going on with everything because her mother is saying that is whats wrong and there nothing she can do about it.     Hope did this to her child to get attention and to hurt her child even though she saying her intent was to never hurt her she did. She wanted the money and everything to be around her.Instead of letting her child live a happy life at a young age her life was hard and painful and she couldn't do anything about it,But get hurt,there has to be something wrong with you to do that to your child in my opinion.      Hope Ybarra she been in prison for a long time longer than ten years because she did that to a child that made them hurt and the child ...

Breaking Up is Hard to Do

Image
A healthy relationship to me is when both you care for each other and trust each other. you don't have to be around them 24/7  and not still love them. If it was my own I would want to leave and not be around them anymore. If it was one of my friends I would tell them about it and tell them that it is not ok for them and then let them think about it and be by their side with the decision they make. The guy/girl can say hey can we meet up and talk.But you will only agree to come if it is in public and not in a private spot were there is no one around you.They would schedule it about noon, Things are not longer working out I no longer have that  connection with you and I don't want to stay with you and hurt you.
