And I think Tom Cruise did not live up to that responsibility. I only pray that those women who desperately need help are not dissuaded from seeking medical attention. My own sister had severe PPD.....she would even look at her husband and say "get that baby away from me"....this from a woman who was so desperate to have a child...that she endured god know what attempts for ten years! I KNOW my sister...she is the most loving stable person...but whatever chemical imbalance she was experiencing with the birth of her child, turned her into someone I did not know. We were all very afraid for her and the baby. She was not even allowed to be alone with the her own baby. And all I can say...is THANK GOD FOR MEDICATION! The doctors turned her around within 2 months, and her husband had his wife back...I had my sister back...and "James" had a mother for the first time in his young life! As of today? Two year old James is a healthy happy..."Mamas Boy"...and my sister dotes on him and is the BEST mom! So Tom? You can stick it where the sun doesn't shine! Amen...Francie |
Francie, I couldn't say it better! I couldn't care less what the man does with consenting adults.
It's the thought that if a single person that needed help heard his rant and then didn't seek help because of what he said....
That's where he 'jumped the couch' for me. JMO
