Do you have family members you dont want your children around? I have a 2 year old son and a 9 month old daughter and I have family I never want them to meet. I'm related to some pretty pathetic people and I dont want my children to see that. Does that make me a bad person? To keep my children away from their blood family? I'm blessed that my husbands family are amazing people and my kids have them. My family is the exact opposite!

Being a mom raises a lot of questions. Am I going to be good? Where do we live? What schools are best? What if they don't love me? What if I'm a bad parent? The question keep coming from all different areas. They multiply daily as the time approaches. But, being a mother who has witnessed more than some can fathom, raises questions that become unimaginable. How do I let them out of my site? Who can I trust? What if someone hurts them like I was hurt? What can I do to make sure that never happens? Home school? Can i shelter them forever? What the hell do I do?
I have witnessed more in my young life than a lot of people have. I'm a victim. I have lost everything more than once, lost my home. Had my family broken into pieces. Family I will never speak to again. I was abused by someone in my family, someone who was supposed to guide me. I lost all trust and faith at a very young age. When I got pregnant, everything changed. I realized I had to regain faith for my child, for myself. I asked myself all these questions and realized the answer is quiet simple. I raise my children with respect, honesty and I protect them until they head to their own battles. Its scary as hell, terrifying, but that's all I can do.
This blog is to help people who have been lost with their past. Its so people know they are not alone. I am no psychologist, have no degree or any schooling. But I have experience. And this is from my perspective.
