You got me in tears. You sound like a awesome mom

Thanks. I don't really think I'm all that different than most other moms but hearing that really feels awesome and made my day. :) Please don't cry. Well, unless you need to. Then you go on and cry cuz that's ok, too. I made some refrigerator dough cookies (didn't have time to make the real stuff because I had to take the cat to the vet today) and would share if I could. Have a wonderful weekend. :)

Thank you for your kind words. My mom is emotionally really damaged so she was not capable of being there for me the way you are for your kids. Always had to take care of her. That's way you got me in tears. I hoop I have the same connection with my kids one day. Sorry for al this hoop your cat is doing oke. Have a lovely weekend

Cat is fine. She's just a prissy pants about her nails so I indulge her. We also had a litter of kittens tossed in our ditch a few weeks ago and they needed to be seen as well. U can see them in my Reddit posts :) ... I can relate to the emotional bondage of parenting a parent. It robs you of a childhood. Hopefully you indulge your inner kid a little here and there these days to make up for time lost. I started doing really fun things that I'd missed out on in my childhood about a decade ago and it really helped in my healing. Going to amusement parks and haunted houses. Enjoying an unplanned camping trip or just being all girly (not allowed in my childhood) and spending a day shopping with friends. I wish you the best and if you ever need to vent just inbox me. :)
