That was the main reason I wanted to have my babies at home. I could not bear the idea of being separated from them. It made no sense and it seemed beyond cruel to me and I have been so lucky not to have had to go through it except for a few hours when Hank was born.

"He's in the best hands," she said, "right?" And I knew he was, but it broke my heart anyway.

I kept asking for him and they wouldn't bring him to me telling me to get some rest. how could I? I truly believe that time alone and then that long separation made him the clingy baby he became. he didn't want anyone holding him but me or his father but his father only when I wasn't there.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-79509221542813237962018-06-20T08:07:14.119-04:002018-06-20T08:07:14.119-04:00Ah, I read back and learned about the artist and t...Ah, I read back and learned about the artist and the poet.

And your story of having to leave Hank for an over-nighter just breaks my heart! I nursed Erik until his forth birthday , let him call the shots, and could not bear to leave him for a second, Oh dear, Mary, how awful. I awoke in the middle of the night, radio on, a recording playing of the babies in tRUMP jail, wailing, calling for Mama/papa/- DAMMIT ALL TO HELL! I thought that sleep might give me a bit of a reprieve from this horror- damned Radio - damned tRUMP and his evil minions.
