Yesterday my parents (who live in mexico) were talking about how bad the drug wars are in mexico. Just from what they said I am having anxiety but now I just read an article in the news paper about a mine air vent that was filled with at least 56 bodies. They weren't sure just how many bodies because there were so many detached hands and feet. So they counted the heads. Now I am not only scared I am sad. Super sad. I think it feels more real to me because Sean has been watching Weeds. I know it sounds funny but watching that show has taken away some of my Innocence. I am a sheltered person in that I have never tried any illegal drugs or even been exposed to them. I've never smoked a cigarette. In that way I have been very sheltered or protected. And because of my anxiety I don't normally watch (or read) the news. It makes me too scared and sad. But I have been reading it on our paper. It bother me how many articles there are every day about murder and drugs.
My kids have to grow up in this world. How am I going to protect them from this?
