Here's how I see it: We know better, so now we do better.
And we can share the lessons from our own recovery with our children.
I'm working on teaching my children (isn't this ironic -- most parents would laugh...) to dare to take up space in the world and to dare express and maintain their wants, desires, and needs.
It's a sloooooow process. But we're moving forward every day we give them a loving place to land.
