And that, my dear, is
exactly what he wants you to continue believing because it serves him well. You are there to provide for him.
I completely understand being a single parent, and having kids that plum wear you down, and you give in because you just don't have the energy to do otherwise.
However, continuing to make decisions based on guilt of the past, and fear of the future will
never serve either of you in a healthy manner.
We do the best that we can at the time while raising our kids.
God's forgiven me for the mistakes I've made in the past in parenting, so I'm sure not going to keep beating on myself years later.
He's forgiven you too, Chicory. Put down the big stick and toss the guilt in the garbage.
