<>"The bond between a mother and her child is naturally sacred. It is
physical, psychological and spiritual. It is very resilient and very
flexible. It can stretch very far - naturally. Any artificial or
violent injury to this "stretch" constitutes a serious psychic
trauma to both mother and child - for all eternity. This means
that children need their mothers and mothers need their children -
whether or not a mother is married or unmarried." - Mothers
