Aren't children great at reminding us what's truly important?

Yes, and I am learning so much. It is just the biggest gift. Not all moments are like that and if they were, would we listen?

Sounds fun! Being a mom sure helps to heal those childhood wounds, doesn't it?

Moving back to Jersey, huh? Going back to Weehawken?

That's a great story, and it must feel wonderful to know you aren't raising your son in a family culture of fear.

I am not moving back..I miss it though. We are visting my DH's family.

I have to say that I don't think I will ever "be out of the woods" if that makes sense. I have to fight my history and what has been taught. It is a daily battle, but I think that somehow through everything I went though, I got not only to know what is wrong but also not carry it out.

I wish that for my parents, it is too late now at this point for reconciliation...but I wish for them the knowledge. Things would have turned out differently if they hadn't started with my son, because I forgave them.

I am lucky I didn't end up with an asshole too.
