I just feel sick..  

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
(WARNING: some of what I talk about will contain graphic disturbing news stories involving child abuse, etc. that are affecting me a whole lot, if talk of abuse or other terrible crimes triggers anything for you please do not read.)













I feel sick and like I'm falling apart on the inside. I cannot fathom at all how a human being could harm a innocent baby or child. There is a local story on the news this afternoon about an 11 month old baby girl who was raped after being left by her mother with her boyfriend, who in turn left the baby with a female neighbor, and as if that weren't crazy enough that female neighbor then left that poor baby with her boyfriend, who is supposedly the criminal.
My own baby girl just turned a year old yesterday. As you can imagine hearing this on the news deeply upset me as I thought of my own baby. My heart breaks for that little one.
Shortly after hearing about this my husband who saw me upset over it asked innocently how I felt about another sweet baby who had been (my god it's so hard to even type it), microwaved (*sob*). I didn't know about said baby until he told me very gently and cussed at himself for even bringing it up because he assumed I already knew about it. I actually got physically ill when I read the news report online about that little one, which just went on to mention another baby who in 1999 had died the same way, which lead me to look up that little ones story.. It's never ending. The abuse, rape, etc. is everywhere, story after story, I never had any idea. I hurt so much for them. I want to hold them all and protect them and love them. I cannot read any more, it's making me fall apart. All those sweet baby's thrown away like trash when so many of us here have lost our perfect baby's who were so loved and wanted. NOT FAIR!!
Also just makes me want to grab my baby's and curl up with them in bed and never let them go.
I just had to talk to someone about it and figured you guys would understand... I'm lighting a candle for all of those precious babe's tonight.

Blessings,

I do so believe in a life after death and as the saying goes "death is only the beginning" That is how I get through the day...to know that all of these babies live on.

I can't read stories like that anymore, it only causes my fragile mental health to start spiraling...nope, can't chance it.

My dh was reading the news online the other night and made a disgusted face. I said "what?!" and he started reading about the microwave story...I had just finished nursing the baby (and you know how your hormones are then!) and I just put my hand up and told him to stop. I only heard the very basic details and still I cannot get the horrible images in my mind to go away. HOW can people DO these things to innocent little babies?!! :

I hope there is an extra special hot spot in you know where for these people. :

: I totally hear you all, thanks for relpying. As much I don't want to read the darn stories it's almost like it sucks you in. Now I'm just staying away from those sites, and trying to avoid the news on TV (there were 4 child abuse/neglect stoires just on my local news last night, that's crazy).

For The Lost Babe's:



I was totally going to put some beautiful poem here but couldn't find one just right, I'll look again later..

this is precisely why i no longer read the papers or watch the news. i cannot handle such horrific stories because i hurt so badly for those little ones and i always see the faces of my own children on those little victims. the images and imaginations i have haunt me.

it's just too much for me to know such things.

How can you even think about children that way! I hadn't heard about these stories...: :

I work with abused and neglected children as part of my present job and every night I come home and just cuddle and love my dd.

For me, the only remedy I have found to deal with the ugliness of the world is to do something positive. That positve thing is a very personal choice.
