Thank you
besides their father being him, our girls are very well taken care of. No parent is perfect but we agree to work on some things to help them as well. They are still young, 3 1/2 and 1, but we know the earlier the better. I dont think they have been traumatized by all means but no one will know until later. Things havent been perfect for sure, then again i know kids who have been worse off and "turn out ok". I believe we all have issues within ourselves and need the tools and resources to help and cope with life. I came from a wonderful family and the childhood of a lifetime, and still wonder how I ended up where Im at. I believe its for a reason. Thank you for telling me I'll be okay!
I believe it for sure!
