reality of the abuse or the feelings still present in mind and body
after the years... I truly believe however that being able to breastfeed
their babies gives these women a lot of empowerment, a boost of
self-confidence in their capabilities of being a good mother and also of
being an 'O.K.' person. Of course, they need extra help and extra
support from their husband, their significative others, and from bf
supporters, but I am convinced we can make a real and long-term
difference in these women's lives, if we just put the effort it
demands...

Louise,
Thank you so much for all of your response! You put my feelings and
understandings into words very eloquently. I enjoyed everything you had to
say on the matter and felt that you were very correct in your observations.
