Ellen, this is so honest, reflective and brave of you to revisit, write and now share. People need to hear this! Especially those who are struggling on this path with parenting their kids. For me, someone who is not a mother, can relate to this as well. There are outburst I have, a reactive side of me that I work on daily. There is a bit of trauma I am revisiting from my past and working on the why and what to help me find ways to address moments where at times I see red and handle myself in an inexcusable ways. I’m proud of you for so much. What you have been doing has made you Mom of the Year and I’m sure your daughter can look at the work you have put in to be the best version for yourself so you can be the best version for her. Bravo Ellen! This post is staying! I am sharing this on my blog. More people need to read this.
This story will stick with me for a long time. Thank you for sharing.
