Every now and then I get an email from a Shameless Mom that just blows me away.  A couple weeks ago I got one such email – detailing a mama’s struggle with her current relationship with an addict and her past decision to terminate a pregnancy.  What was so overwhelmingly touching about this email was that a lot of the email was about how HAPPY this mama is.  That 96.34% of the time she is extremely happy, caring, empathetic, and grateful. But then there was the admission that, “the murky undercurrents of my past sometimes swirl with the polluted storm of my present; and my sunny disposition is immediately overcast by a darkness so ominous and pensive, that I fear I will suffocate under all the darkness......” I asked this Shameless Mom if I could share her story and do some processing on this episode and she so kindly agreed.  To any mama who has struggled to make peace with your past or is currently struggling to find peace in the present, this is for you.
