Xylie Thank you for being so wise and sharing your wisdom with us. There is alot of good advise in there.
I lost my mom when I was just 21. She was a sweet lady but very beat down by my alcoholic father. I think that is why she died so young, just 54 years old. I inherited alot of her traits but also the anger she surely had to have in her somewhere. I think we all want to be better mothers than what ours where, so I have always made sure my daughters lives where nothing like mine growing up.
