Thank you for sharing. My growing up was emotional neglect and total lack of structure. I think we ran from Bill collectors at least every year. My dad's mom and dad were never in my life for hate of my Appalachia mother. Love was never spoken in my family of 5 children. I never saw a basketball/football or baseball game my brother played in. My brother has 5 names that I'm aware of because it never mattered what we called him.

I too worried about parenting..I too have the help and love of Jesus but also years of psychological help. When I appear outspoken and uncaring it's instruction coming out to fight and not take the easy way out.

I'm so thankful for my mom and her family. They taught us well....discipline by example and with love.
