This was a beautiful read. Thank you for sharing this wisdom with the world, not just with your kids.

I am so glad that I stumbled across your Facebook page. Your writing reaches my heart and gives me hope when I've damn near given up on humanity.

There are so many lessons we learn that at the time we didn't want to learn. Speaking of that painful time you had, a very good friend in High School did that deed on September 1, 1972. That date is burned into my memory. I learned a lot that day that I did not want to learn. I am very relieved you worked through it. And remembered it. 😔

Sometimes I find myself holding my breath while reading your words. Sometimes life events do that to us too!

thanks for that comforting read. I am older than you and, like you, have bounced through life without much in the way of anchors but I have been married to my husband for more than 35 years and have raised an amazing child. We can break the cycle and, as you said, we can raise our children to continue to break the cycle.
