[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh please. It's a crying shame to be a drug-addicted prostitute. There aren't too many nice spins to put on that one.[/quote]

It sucks, for sure. But it sucks a lot more for her than it does for you, so why so nasty about it? Demonstrate compassion.

My daughter's birth mom has had a complicated life. No addiction, that I know of, but if I wanted to, I could put a pretty negative spin on her circumstances. But I don't judge her for her situation, anyone discussing it with me will know I don't judge her for it, and I don't stand for others saying judgmental things about her.[/quote]

I don't even know what you are saying. what does judging mean? Are you talking about her soul or something? Of course we are not in a position to judge someone on that level. But are you really saying not to judge a drug addicted prostitute who gives birth in prison? Like, we're not supposed to say this is bad because it might hurt someone's feelings? Because saying it's bad is a judgment? Makes no sense.

I hope OP's daughter grows up knowing that success in life depends on both nature and nurture, and that the good childhood the OP will hopefully give her, combined with the genes she got from her birth parents, minus her birth parent's bad circumstances will equal a quality life for her. A lot of people are given everything in life and still turn out pretty shitty. But I guess we're not supposed to "judge" them either....[/quote]
