How sad that the baby can't make a choice in the womb and kick her ever so hard so that she will never touch a drug again! Love and best wishes, Jenny.

Ooh! Spot on, Alexis. Superb senryu highlighting the cruelty and the pathetic addictions of mothers who would pass this poison on to their babes. Thanks, Gershon

painful to read Alexis , sadly am hearing more and more of addiction driving wedges between parent and child to the extent of someone we know their daughter has adopted 2 boys whose mother can;t look after them as she is an addict:-( the younger boy has issues as a result of being poisoned in the womb:-(
