One other thing, NPR talking about a woman being cruel burning his skin, but to see it with empathy and understanding. Why are they saying this now, sheri? because of the movie Beauty and the Beast. Alec burned his own self on an iron and a stove top, anything else, you were being a mother, a parent! No damage was done to Alec. I guess they do it to prove a point. You never really were able to be a mother, were you? it's not worth drinking over.
