My Sons First Sleepover, Not Sure How I Feel

                               Today as I sit her in front of the computer working, I keep looking at the door.

 You see I took Charlie 

over to my sister's.

                Charlie  wanted to spend the night and go to Church in the morning. 

                      Only Charlie  has been gone less than a hour and I want to run right over 

                                       there and grab him and say no you can not spend the night but that is not fair to them. 

                                         They need to spend time together as my daughter and my sister where inseparable.

 I would like 

this to be the way it is between my sister and my son.

 Only  I hate to be away from him for even a minute. 

Is this way know how I am going to feel  with him going to school?

                                  You would think I would be happy as I have the whole house to myself.

                                  I can take a nice long bath and read with out stopping every 5
                                  seconds to answer a question.

                                  Plus I can work.

                                  Only  I would rather he
                                  be here driving me up the wall.

                                 Do your children have sleepovers and do you feel this way when they are gone?

Thanks Glenda, Charlie and David

Today I would like to share with you something that happened in my own home

I am a big sister to my sister who is 8 years younger than me and also my brother who is 4 years younger than me.

When I was grown I moved out of my parents home into my grandmothers as she was sick and needed help.

I Thank God I did move but I also feel guilty that I did as I found out years later that my brother tried to abuse my sister sexually and my parents did nothing about it.

I should have kept a closer look on her as he tried things with me as well and I was never comfortable in my own home and this is why I left.

My sister thinks my mom knew but ignored it which is not right.

 I thought it was only with my brother but my sister says our cousin also tried to do things with her and so she helped me make sure it never happened to my daughter.

But still what can I do to make this go away?

National Child Abuse Prevention Month: Get Involved #VetoViolence

So I wanted to share this post with you and ask you to keep your eyes and ears open and help others.

If you think someone you know is facing any of this Please get them some help.

 I would hate for you to have to go through what my family did.
