When I saw your story on Rachel Ray I wish I had been in the audience because I just wanted to give you a hug. I am 22 as well and I just had a baby in June. She is now 6 months and sometimes I just want to leave because babies are hard work and I don't like doing it but I love her so much. You are so courageous and tough. You are my inspiration to keep going. Everytime I think of how tough I have it now, I will think of you and think that my situation is not so bad. It just sucks not being able to do what I want when I want. I can't ever do anything I want to do anymore. I wish you the best of luck and just want to tell you what a loving heart you have and what a great job you're doing.

I only saw the last part of the show, I was cooking for my two sons and their family who were coming over later to celebrate xmas eve with me.I raised them alone from the time they were 4 & 7,I was in my early 30's,and I raised them alone,they are now grown in their mid thirties, but it was not easy to raised them alone my family is not around here,so I had to have a sitter, when I was at work(I was lucky to have a fairly good paying job)but it was still hard,so I can really identify with you, But I found that when you have to, you can do things you never thought you could do. I never remarried, but please don't stay alone you deserve happiness, I am now in my early 60's and it is lonely growing old alone, so please look for your happiness while watching over your sibblings you deserve it, I have to command you,I don't know that I could have done the same thing at your age,you are a remarkable young women,you should be very proud of what you did.I could never understand how a mother can turn her back on her childreen and forget they ever existed,she should be ashame of herself, if this was a test as to how strong you are..you passed with fkying colors, you my dear are a saint, you are an inspiration to us all. Good luck to you. And Rachael Thank You from all of us for what you did. Love always J.R.

I was 13 when my mom split. She left me and my 15 year sister with our father, who drank too much and was violent. I took care of my little family. I learned to cook, sew, and mostly stay mad at my mother. It took me 2 kids of own and 10 years to get over my hurt. I finally got to know my mother again when I was 26. I am now 47 years old, my mother died in April 2002 with me and my sister holding her hand. If you and she do get the chance to know each other take it and ask why. You may find forgiveness you may not, but you will learn something about both of you.
