Sources of pride

Having raised kind and honest teens and the fact that they consistently have their friends‘ backs and stick up for them, even if they’re teased for it.

Sources of anxiety

Being around arguing, or anyone being loud or yelling (PTSD from an abusive relationship)

Bold future dreams

Just to see my 3 kids be happy, healthy, productive adults, and give me lots of grand babies to snuggle and spoil
