You might not remember me being strict because...MJ,<br />You might not remember me being strict because of the time line. I was strict with you in your toddler and early youth years so that by the time you reached school, good habits were already set in place. <br />I agree with you that you don't like to let others down. The guilt comes over your face almost immediately. If I could rewind the clock with the realization that you were more harmed emotionally by an inactive parent, rather than an absent parent....I would have left him and stayed gone the first time.<br />I am grateful that you picked a husband that is very active in your children;s lives. I am so happy you didn't follow my mistake!<br />I love you and your beautiful family!<br />~GaloshesSommers Breeze Antiqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10183201617048149269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372406549928075825.post-21764545278512844772010-11-17T22:35:42.304-06:002010-11-17T22:35:42.304-06:00Funny that you considered yourself strict. Althou...Funny that you considered yourself strict. Although I do remember having the fear of God put into me by you, I have no idea how you did it as I don't remember you ever being strict or doing anything to me. I think I just hated disappointing anyone. I already felt like such a disappointment to my father (mostly for not being a boy, or being born at all) that I couldn't stand disappointing the one person in my life I depended on. <br /><br />That and the fact that I've always been a terrible lier and would not be able to get away with things if I tried to!Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04279589108479434284noreply@blogger.com
