Realized I had these too as a child.

As far back as I can remember, a lot of these on the checklist were me as a child. My son also has them. I am still learning about it all and he’s only 8. I am a single parent in this adventure. I struggle and get frustrated a lot. I am the student, the child and yet I must be the teacher and the parent. That’s the best way for me to explain it honestly. I can be tolerant and then very intolerant.




I need to remind myself one day at a time and not to be so hard on myself My upbringing was strict and not exactly a healthy one. I refuse to listen to majority of what my mother tells me because that woman is a narcissist and has zero compassion nor empathy. Hard love is not the answer. I am always learning and growing.
