my children - my gifts

Got the most precious birthday card from my three children telling me I am a cool mom.

What really stood out for me was that they said that my biggest tragedy ( failed marriage/ pending divorce from AH) has become my biggest legacy. They appreciate that I fight the good fight for me and them.

I feel humbled as I really come from a terrible place (emotionally) and the fact that I am able to let go of AH and looking after me and kids is recognized as something positive from my 3 children is great.

Thanks to all the beautiful people at SR who helped me /and still are helping me on this road of recovery.

hugs

What an awesome gift from your kids. I think YOU are giving them a gift, too...a home filled with love, serenity, and sanity.

Happy Birthday!!

Hugs and prayers,

Amy

Wow, I'd be keeping that card, forever.

I think your kids are going to do well, in life.

Awesome, makes me feel all teary.

Kids often appreciate MUCH LATER the stuff we do that upsets/annoys them now (example: my older son telling me when he reached his 20s that he appreciated that I would often tell him "no" about certain things he wanted). It's cool that you're NOW getting the kudos from the kiddos.
