I once met a teenaged boy who was slashing his arms and legs with knives and blades. He had a mother just like the one in this story. He hated himself because his mother always hated him too. His mother did have her tubes tied when he was born.
Not long ago, I got a phone call from a neighbor lady, and she said that her cow was trying to kill her calf, and then she said she was sending that cow to the slaughterhouse, and do you want some meat? She said that this was not going to happen on her property.
Someone who loves the baby should have him.. Not even a calf should have to suffer from a mother who hates him.
My dad had a black angus that he sent to auction (and not my freezer, unfortunately) for that same reason.
