You are something serious Kate. I like the fact that you are a mother and at the same time can see a dark side to it. Maybe I am projecting myself into your photo but the deeper the conflict between individuality and breeding the deeper the soul, and therefore the stronger the love... for your children (my children). pepe
Lovely - you're treatment has given it a kind of demonic feel - which, presumably, reflects your feelings about it!
another great shot
