[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was 8 and my mother told me "Don't ever have children, they'll ruin your life." I spent my life -- and many years in therapy, trying to prove to her I wouldn't ruin her life. And here i am at 61 still recounting it. (With 2 fabulous kids now in college.)[/quote] My mom said something terrible to me when I was 8, too. It was the first time I contemplated suicide. Mothers hold so much power over their children. I understand the lasting impact of her poor treatment of me and I am raising my children differently. I am aware of my power to build up or harm them and I choose my words carefully, always thinking before I react.[/quote]
