I'm doing 12 things
I won't be like them
7 months ago
My parents were messed-up people who probably shouldn’t have even been together, let alone had four children they didn’t want. I’m already a very different person than either of them, but more than anything I want to ensure that I never pick up their worst traits- my mother’s bitterness and emotional cruelty, and my father’s selfishness and irresponsibility.
My parents were always so blunt about how little they wanted us. I’m not going to be that way- I want to be a GOOD parent. I know I won’t be perfect- no one is- but I do at least want to love my children and instill in them an unbreakable sense of self-worth.
