This topic is very emotional, that's for sure. You are a sweet person, and your children are truly lucky to have someone like you as their mom. I mean that. I can only wish I were half the mom people think I am, or that people like you are.
I feel like I need to call my mom and thank her for washing my laundry, and finding lost shoes 5 minutes before school, and making a fire at 6am so we would be warm when we woke up, and all the things I took for granted as a child. It is so important. So many kids aren't that lucky.
Please don't feel horrible. I try very hard to be everything my own mother wasn't. She played favorites (my sister), used me as her scapegoat, projected all her hate onto me and sided with my abuser. I have not spoken to her in five years. The peace and quiet has been worth it.
How old is your daughter, if you don't mind my asking? They grow up so fast. I can't believe I have one that's 20.
