As I think more and more about my new nephew who was circed at such a small size, I have also realized that my sister also did the same thing to her son over 10 years ago. At the time I didn't know anything about and never even asked anything about it until I got pregnant. She said then that she of course would do it again (and said so when she had her (thankfully) daughter almost 2 years ago). Now that I have such negative feelings to sil and bil with the new tiny baby, I wonder how I'm supposed to feel about my own sister who did the very same thing to her month early 5# boy. I just done know how to feel about people anymore. I'm in a very high circ rate state about 80% I think. And no one ever talks about it either. It is just depressing and I don't know how to feel about all of these people around me. I can't hate everyone and so how do I continue to have some sort of relationship with them? Why is hurting boys ok? I hate feeling like this.:gloomy:

:hug I lose a lot of respect for parents when they circ. It's so hard. :hug
I don't know how not to feel anger, horror, disgust, deep sadness... over circ because it's such an awful thing to do. I'm no help because I struggle with this too.

Silence only helps the perpetrators. If they won't talk with you, talk at them. Put a billboard in front of their yard.

The more pro-circers talk, the more they convict themselves of cruel stupidity in the eyes of thoughtful, intelligent people.
