When they say that, which is very often from my three, I cringe. Guilt. I know I am a good mom, I get "crabby" as they say, and distant sometimes, but I believe I am doing alright despite all of the mental illness. My husband regularly reassures me that I am a wonderful mother, better than most actually and I take that seriously. We are doing alright. We are doing the best we can with what we have and what we know. We are working to be better and that is amazing and so good for them babies. You are doing wonderfully if that child says you are. <3 much love. Good for you dear. Keep it up.
