Well, just to let you guys know...

I spent the day validating the kids so far.

I needed their validation that i wasn't the screw up I was portrayed to be.

I spent today telling them: your mom did wrong by you, I saw you wait for her, I saw you put her first, I saw you worry about her drinking, I saw her ignore you, I saw her get angry at you, and I worried how it effected you to see her get angry at me so often.

I don't want them questioning their perceptions.
