I come from a long line of selfish, self centered, angry, unstable people. Call it genetics or learned behavior but this isnt who I want to be. I swore id never have kids and bring a person into this screwed up world and what do I do......have two kids!! I want to break the cycle with my daughter who is 4 but she already has the attitude. Its her way or youll listen to it for hours. I am afraid of raising another one of 'us'. Is there any hope for her?? Can you change the way you are after 26 years of being this person?? I try hard to be less selfish, volunteering/fundraising. I try being less nit-picky, I try real real hard.
