Punjabi Kuri:

Do you realize that the story you wrote on that 1st post…and then what you wrote on the 2nd quote above…the situations are COMPLETELY different? If you 2nd quote is accurate, then your mother left you and you brother (and her husband). You, your brother were unfortunately abandoned by your mother…not abducted by your father. And this is completely different from the other thread…where according to that thread started, the girl was taken by the father without the mother knowing. According to that OP, the mother did not abandond that 10 year old girl.

I’m glad you’re happy with your life…but going by your 2nd quote above…your situation is nothing like what the OP wrote on the other thread about that 10 year old girl. You never met your mother…only saw her picture. The 10 year old girl in the other thread was raised by her mother, she knows her mother, and has memories of her. So fortunately for you, you did not go through what that girl (and children in her situation) go through because unlike her, you have had a relationship with your mother.

As for everyone else who wants to indirectly attack me for what I wrote previously:
I don’t post on GS to win a popularity contest. I don’t agree with many opinions I read here…and I certainly don’t expect everyone else to agree with me. I wrote my opinions/thoughts based on OP’s original post…and if I had to do it all over again, based on the information given at that time, I would not change a thing. I stand by my words and my opinions. If you don’t like it, agree with it, think I’m too harsh etc…I’m perfectly ok with that b/c you have every right to your opinion. As for the personal attacks, if its going to make you feel better, then by all means continue to do so. But please don’t think it’s going to somehow upset me or make me change my opinion.

Oh and as for the jab about my need for further education…I will be the first one to proudly declare that I need more education. No matter what degree a person has, I believe everyone needs to continue their education as long as they live. No one ever gets to the point where they can say “Ok, I’m done learning…I don’t need any more education”. So yes, despite all the years of college and post-graduate work, I will continue to need education until the day I die.

Very well said. Love the last paragraph.
