Sometimes I think I am there, then memories come back and take possession again. But, like you, I remind myself often that they did the best they could, that they, too, were damaged, and that hopefully, although far from perfect myself as a parent, I helped just a little to show my children a healthier way to live and relate. Happy Mother's Day to you and your mom, Babe.heartinsanfranciscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535397382991383931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4713908623268184440.post-33844548876377392092011-05-08T21:08:08.030-05:002011-05-08T21:08:08.030-05:00I guess doing our best is all we can do, getting o...I guess doing our best is all we can do, getting over the mountains of baggage we carry with us from our childhoods, letting go of pain, is not easy, and can be a lifelong challenge.Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12622587942009516590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4713908623268184440.post-30087282531554964622011-05-08T20:35:44.319-05:002011-05-08T20:35:44.319-05:00I hope you had a beautiful Mother's Day!

However, underneath the obvious sad parenting story is the enjoyment of knowing that it is possible to break that cycle. Evidence that people can overcome emotional trauma. People are amazing. There are many families with problems. You should be very proud of the hope your story gives.
