Quote of the day:
"Only goal as a Mother: Raise children that don't have to recover from their childhood."
~ The Daily Positive
Did I manage to do that? Do my kids have to recover? I don’t know, not really, for I made so many mistakes….. I do know, however, that I broke the cycle from my grandmother to my mother to me – I managed to teach my children that love was not conditional, that even when I disapproved or even loathed their choices, they were always my children and I would always love them, come what may.
