I am a goal oriented girl. I assess, analyze, then calculate odds on various desired outcomes. I pick a direction, then work as hard as I can to see it happen, and see my goal met. I do this with everything, even my kids. So far, so good.
One needs to develop empathy, another the will to follow through. So we work on this. My kids are young, so we’ll see how it goes. I’m not expecting perfection, nowhere near, but if I can raise them with the tools to be successful and a minimum of emotional damage, I will have done a great thing. For now, Lord help us. We need it.
