I was out to dinner one night with my husband. I looked over at a family sitting at another table, and there was this cute little girl, probably no more than three years old. My only thought in looking at her was this, "That little girl doesn't even realize how f'ed up this world is!" I was shocked by my own thoughts. It was then that I realized I was holding onto more of my own abusive childhood than I had thought. I never got to be a normal little girl, and I guess I can't even imagine what a normal childhood would have been like.Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10095222446929191918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-70911904159109710372009-09-17T19:38:14.782-04:002009-09-17T19:38:14.782-04:00As I was reading this I found myself reflecting on...As I was reading this I found myself reflecting on my own relationship with my troubled daughter. My son makes me very proud to be a parent, my daughter causes me to pause on more than I care to say occassions. I enjoy children very much but don't relate so well to them after a certain age. My son stayed the course and together, we are very close. He is so accepting of his step dad that in public, others believe him to be his natural child. I see what I am suppose to have been through mmy son many times. young at heart, strong in mind and free enough to engage both. Hugs to you today my friend.
