Abused siblings want to speak out
Dear Amy: I just wanted to send some hugs to "Sad Mom," who is raising a toddler and newborn. My own kids were 18 months apart and those early months were rough!
I felt like a robot most days!
But now my kids are both grown, productive adults and I look back on those difficult days fondly.
We've all been there: Sad should lean on dad, grandparents and aunts and uncles to give her some rest. But she's got this -- because it turned out that I did, too!
-- Happy Mom
Dear Happy: Help, support and encouragement is exactly what this mom needs.
