Yeah. We've never laid a hand on our youngest. Eventhough I had to walk away on several occasions!! He really put us through it for a while!! Wish I could say the same thing about my oldest, but I can't. During that time, I didn't know any better and was doing what I was TAUGHT to do. "Continuing the Cycle." Luckily, he & I have had numerous conversations about those days and he seems to have accepted my apologies. I think he understands how much I regret how I treated him back then. And the GOOD NEWS is he wouldn't lay a hand on his kids! He disciplines but with love and sensitivety. He's really quite good with them. I'm so proud of the man & Father he's turned out to be! And have told him so.

So maybe the cycle has FINALLY been broken. Took a couple generations, but.... At least we got there!!

Have a great day!! Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Helps to not feel so alone "out here."
