Raising Children to Weather the Storm
My hubby said to me this morning: “F*** you, I want a divorce if you take castor oil. That thing can hurt the baby!” “It won’t hurt the baby. I’m full term now,” I said. “Why don’t you just get drunk and hit the crack pipe too, since you won’t harm the baby!” he responded…
