Both of you have taken hurtful relationships and instead of making you bitter, you've somehow made a blessing out of it. This might seem like a weird connection, but I just finished Liesl Shurtliff's Rump: The True Story of Rumpelstiltskin, and at one point a troll is telling Rump about an apple tree that the rest of the trolls think is poisonous because the tree grew from a poisonous seed. All the trolls avoid the apples, but Bork eats one anyway and tells Rump, "Poison doesn't have to grow from poison." He teaches Rump that he is not trapped in the bad decisions and magic his mother was trapped in. He can make his own choices. The kids and I had a great conversation about that.

It is the every day that can be difficult with difficult people, even if they are parents or family. Those daily moments add up to an infinite memory--irreplaceable.

I missed both those other posts, & am sorry about what he missed, see that you are too. There are a few parents I've had of students through the years that I could shake & want so much to tell them that life to too short to be so demanding that your child perform, etc. I wish they knew what they were missing too. Thanks for such a thoughtful post.

I'm making memories, but sometimes wonder about the quality of those memories. I work for harmony in the home, but it can be an elusive target.
