ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear that you girls had to endure that monster for so long. And I say to Lilian to go and get your son back girl for you didn't deserve to lose him in such a shitty and underhanded way. And the bigger assholes are his adoptive family to tell the truth for they forbid you to see him in even a supervised visitation which is just plain wrong given what you three girls had to endure for so long.
