[quote=Anonymous]Realize that no parents are perfect. My mom had serious coping issues including alcoholism which made me so angry at times. But she always told us and showed us she loved us. She was literally the best mom I could have asked for. She couldn’t really do housework and while she had shame about it and so we did too it really wasn’t a big deal in retrospect. She was smart clever funny took us on lots of adventures. Focus on the things you love doing together, being honest about what you can’t do and why, and don’t be too hard on yourself. Kids’ love is so resilient and accepting. [/quote]
