[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 2122007, member: 1242"] Ehhh ... it is what it is. I'm really kinda surprised I posted that. I was also surprised at how angry that article made me. Guess it's true when they say that bad or good your parents make you who you are ... And here I thought it wasn't a big deal anymore ... hmmmm ... You guys are pretty theraputic for me ... and a lot less expensive than a therapist! :D I'm sure I made some mistakes when I was raising my bunch of kiddos too, but I can tell you this -- Everytime I felt myself getting angry I would remember how it felt to see "that look" in my parents' eyes. Not so much my dad, he wasn't nearly as bad as mom, but my mom ... ai yi yi ... :bigeye: I never wanted my kids to feel that way about me, so it is true, if you have a less than stellar childhood you can break the cycle. All it takes is a little self-awareness (and a LOT of self-discipline). ROFLMAO!! :D Just a little bit!! [/QUOTE]
