I love this so much, made my eyes tear up. You put into words what I I was feeling, but couldn’t articulate. Cheers to not joining their storms, but when we do, putting ourselves back together and becoming their tree stump again!
You have the insight and understanding you need to be a good mother, which you are. It is harder than you will ever think and you are right in the thick of it with two getting more independent and testing you…part of their growing up! Just apologize when you need to…I did and it goes a long way with kids!
You’re always apologizing for your English but actually it’s amazingly poetic. And definitely better than my Portuguese. To one of your final points — you’re exactly right that it changes so much that every stage comes with a new insight and in a lot of ways it does seem that we go through our childhoods once again when we commit to becoming parents. I struggle sometimes with writing about the experience bexause I know I’ll look back and think “I was wrong about that one!” Or “that’s not true” but k also know that my commitment is to expressing and concern behind what is true and real and honest now, so that’s why I go through with it. So interesting
