This is beautiful, and I'm so glad you posted it! People really do go very overboard with this stuff, jumping to conclusions like that! Sakura's a GREAT mom--and I'll just add that she's certainly not emotionally abusive, either! I went through emotional abuse... Sakura's too incredibly nurturing and loving with Sarada for that to happen! (You're not lame at all for crying, okay? It happens! Especially when tackling really emotional things like this, so don't be ashamed!
laelaloo, I think I might be too tired or something, but I cannot get this to say “laelaloo replied to your post” for whatever reason right now. So this will have to do! (I almost punched my computer haha!)
I won’t lie, I got no sleep last night between studying and trading pokemon with my coworker.
Thank you for your kind words :) I wanted to blog about this a while ago, because it is just SO frustrating seeing the Sakura hate, but couldn’t bring myself to do it until yesterday when I snapped a little bit. I know, I know, I shouldn’t get that worked up about fictional characters, but I still do because they are my babies and I love them and no one can stop me!
I’m very sorry for your emotional abuse -- people really suck, huh? -- but I am glad you are able to see it from my point of view :) Sakura is very, very nurturing and loving.
And it was probably a little therapeutic to type all that out anyway, hahah.
