Life is so difficult and demanding for our young people today.
Pressures come from all angles and no matter what a parent does, the child has to learn how to deal with the demands of life, love, school, and pier pressure by themselves. As a mother that pain falls short of doing as much as you can to ease kids into the “real world”, but there are many rocky roads along the way. All you can hope for is that you gave them the correct tools, and lead them in the right direction.
Funny, I was so busy in and out of the hospital as a child and a teen I only remember part of the pain of growing up. I guess I was too busy fighting the physical pain and did not think much of the mental pain. How difficult it must have been for my parents, dealing with growing pains for three children and then keeping it all together emotionally as they watched me go in and out of surgeries. Life is tough. Keeping positive is how I try to get through it all. Let me know how you get through it all. Interested in your thoughts.
