Fascinating!This piece is really interesting. The balance between children offering stability and being a reason to strive for it is delicate and well-demonstrated. All parents struggle, but to what degree and with what issues makes all the difference. Very nicely done. |

The power of the parent child relationship is amazing!
Parenting can test even the most patient person. I give my applause to Hilary for relating her emotions to her children in ways they can understand such as giving herself a "time out". It is amazing how well our children can love us through our personal trials.
