First of all, I was always “that mom.”  The work part time around their school schedules.   The one who was the classroom mother and gave her children all of her love, time and patience.

Fast forward to now, in hindsight, why did I sacrifice and give so much to my energy etc to them.  Now, they are all adults.

One of them is showing strong narcissistic tendencies.   She is verbally hurtful, lacking empathy  selfish….. I could go on and on.

The other one was sweet but then he met “her.”  She is “good at being herself” other wise a tots ——-.   He has changed for the worse.

The other one is a jerk.  entitled and self absorbed.   He has the the nerve to ……

I am going to focus on me for now on.   My wants, my needs, my hopes….

I was a really devoted mom turned heart broken mom.

Yes, all three of them turned out in disappointing ways.

If you are a parent, don’t sacrifice too much for them.    Work your dream job even if it means putting them in daycare….  if you  have a chance to explore your dreams do it.   Buy yourself clothes when you need them.

If you don’t take care of yourself and watch out for yourself…..

Hugs to all the broken heated parents out there
