30 Days of Truth: Day 3: Something you have to forgive yourself for.
I need to forgive myself for feeling like I have let my kids down. For years I ignored a significant problem. I was an enabler. During that time my kids were scared and learned some bad habits for dealing with frustration and anger. They also learned to blame others for their problems instead of taking responsibility for themselves. It took time, but I eventually stood up and took back my and my kids’ lives. I am glad I did it. Things are better now. I just still have that nagging feeling that I totally wronged my children by not giving them a better household to live in. I need to release that. They are very good kids, most of the time. They are honor roll students in honors courses. They are successful. I wish they hadn’t lost so much time being happy kids.
