WW:

Thanks for the compliment, I'll have to pass that along to my dad He named me. *grin*

I know what you mean. I really think it's cool to have a woman friend that you can be that open with. I used to, and this really sounds bad, hate women. Even though I am one. It is so unhealthy to be that way. Then I joined an internet mom club 3 1/2 years ago and man, those women were there and open and it made me embrace and love them, even though we've never even met face to face. They have ALWAYS been there when I needed someone to talk to or for the tragedies in my life. Amazing how that happens when we least expect it!
I was lmao at your comment about the grumpy 20 year old. My firstborn is now an 11 year old, hormone fueled machine! Oh she is hitting puberty and let me tell you the mood swings! Reminds me of ME. One minute I am the coolest mom ever (even her friends say so) and the next she looks at me like I'm from another planet or just sprouted horns or something.
The scariest thing for me all this time is not knowing how to be a mom. Never had one, really. So I'm still "learning as I go" when I have discussed this with other women, they always say, so are we! So I don't feel so alone there. I just am so worried about making mistakes, you know being superhuman and all
Your post really boosted my spirits, too. I haven't thought of it that way before. We have broken the cycle...imagine having that much power to change everything with only one emotion. Unconditional love. That just leaves me in awe......

I'm so glad we're still discussing this. I don't know about anyone else, but I am feeling so much better and am finally feeling like I can let go slowly to some of the pain that's been eating at me for so many years.

Thanks for sharing so much with little ole' me.

Take Care.
((Hugs))
