Parenting SUCKS a lot of the time. Even with a partner here to talk to, I've done a lot of the parenting on my own and there were times I felt like a single parent in a marriage. We have grown though. Parenting is a growing process. A process of healing as well. You are healing from how you feel you were wronged as a child in your own child/parent relationship (we ALL have them), healing from how you feel robbed of your young adulthood and healing is constant as you mess up as a parent and feel completely inferior/like you're doing it all wrong. My best advice is to always keep your heart open to Christ and the Holy Spirit as they will guide you, heal you and teach you. Ask Him to mold you into the mother He wants for Alyssa, and to always help you remember that you are TOO WEAK to do it without His help and constant affirmation. And I am SO sorry my brother is such a douche. Yes, I said it. Deadbeat Dads suck. You are doing a great job so far as I can see, and you are blessed. You are the PERFECT Mom for Alyssa - totally chosen for her. Have your pity party, fall on your knees to spill your heart before the Lord and be filled with Hid power to do all that you need to do. YOU CAN DO IT!!!<br /><br />~ChristyMagpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00153769863547354521noreply@blogger.com
