Thank you as ever Berenice for adding to a deeply complex topic. I appreciate my musings were leftfield. I am just struggling to grasp onto what causes this hostility. Like you say there isn't enough understanding out there or a willingness to self-educate. The amount of people who have said to me "oh I've never been treated differently because I'm a parent, do you not think you are just being sensitive."

Mutual love and courage sounds good to me. Thank you for all you do :-)
