Notme- I really like this. It is also true for me. When patience and support is modeled for me, I am more likely to be that way with myself...and with my children. I cant count the number of times I have chosen to act with my kids the way a (any) t has treated me.

Now I'm seeing other options for handling things. Also, helping me see the good in other people, that when they're acting badly it's sometimes from a place of hurt, so not just writing them off as bad or mean.

Yes- I also feel this way. The more insight I have into my own behvior, the more compassion I have for others.
