#IMomSoHard Quotes

“no matter what we do, the kids are going to blame us for all the stuff that goes wrong in their lives anyway. Nobody’s ever in therapy in thirty years going, “Hey, by the way, my mother has nothing to do with why I’m here. She’s blameless. Nothing but inspirational.”

I started to think about that in relation to my life and who I spent my time with, where I lived, and how I lived, and by thirty I had a much better understanding of myself.
