I am feeling so down today....I wish I could discuss why in more detail. But I can not. The hardest part of my job, some times, is how close you become to cases, but yet still have to remain neutral; To feel so furious at a situation and not be able to express that; To stand in front of someone and agree with how they feel but not sure how to express that to them. I don't understand how people can do the things they do sometimes. How people can inflict so much pain on others...to neglect to realize when something this bad is going on. I don't understand why it seems that it is human nature to immediately find a way out of "blame" rather than just do the right thing. I guess not understanding these things says something good about me, but some times I just think it would be better to be like "others". It is days like the past few that make so happy to walk through my front door and to look in to the smiling face and innocent eyes of my son. It brings me some hope; To know that there is still innocence in this mostly screwed up world. And I will fight tooth and nail to keep my son's innocence for as long as possible.
