Very true. I made the difficult choice to stay an unmarried woman in this life. I never truly felt safe after watching my parents as I grew. We appeared to be the perfect family, we were far from it. I was blessed to have a daughter at 38 & she was my greatest joy! I'm 67 (eek) lol. Where did it go?

So very true. When my daughter was young I informed her she was not to use any social media until she was 16 and she did comply. Today at 29 she calls social media the absolute devil. She is on Twitter but for sports only. She's a huge baseball nut first, then football. I'm the opposite.
