I undestand the first post secret, when i was off the pill my cycle was so damn irregular that i was always panicing. i'd miss months, then it would come every other week, it was rediculous. Evertime i started getting worried i'd think the Gods were laughing at me.

as far as the baby kidnapping ones, i think i kind of understand it, what i dont understand is the person who's mother let her child's would be kidnapper go.

I used to be friends with a girl who was babysitting when there was a fire, and her youngest brother died.... I saw how much hurt their was in her family, and quite honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if a full-term stillbirth of a wanted fetus caused something like post-traumatic stress disorder, especially since some stories from another board I'm on indicate that there are people who blame the mother when a stillbirth happens for no reason. That could probably send someone (especially if she had post-partum depression) over the edge. Heck, a woman with a stillbirth is MORE likely to have PPD, because there are studies that show breastfeeding helps reduce it, and stillbirths can't breastfeed. So... while it's wrong, I don't think such women should go to jail, such women are mentally incompetent to know right from wrong in this case, and need serious psychiatric help.

I can def understand it, due to my want to be a mother (someday). If I had gone through 9 months of waiting and preparing only to have such a terrible thing happen, I would not be ok, at all. And especially because this woman said she can't have another one, it sounds like there was some kind of complication that has left her unable to have another, and that can be totally devastating too.

And I also understand why the one person's mom let the woman go. Because as a mother, she probably understood why this woman felt this way and realized she wasn't doing it to hurt anyone, she was just hurting herself.

sad That post secret made me sad when I read it.
