Astrid listened, feeling a little sore in her heart. Elio softly explained, “I started sending Roman to nursery in early May. He’s quiet and I thought it would be good for him to interact more with kids his age, maybe he’d become more outgoing.”

“He was okay for the first few days, but on Mother’s Day there was an activity at the nursery. He didn’t have a mom and the other kids made fun of him.” “After that, he didn’t want to go to nursery anymore.”
