Amen, If there were more parents out there stepping up to their responsibilities this world wouldn't have all this hate & crime!!! Most these kids get into trouble because they are just looking for attention, acceptance & their parents LOVE!! " TAKE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR YOU ACTIONS & MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE!!"

As a parent of grown children I found this so healing. I never was perfect, but I was very real with my kids & step-kids. I hope they will appreciate this now.

SOUL
Before you can live a part of you has to die. You have to let go of what could have been, how you should have acted and what you wish you would have said differently. You have to accept that you can’t change the past experiences, opinions of others at that moment in time or outcomes from their choices or yours. When you finally recognize that truth, then you will understand the true meaning of forgiveness of yourself and others. From this point you will finally be free. #<Author:0x0000558490f10eb8>
