Too Many Questions. Not Enough Answers.

I'm going to try to be mostly upbeat and positive on this blog. I promise.

However, there are times when I just write what I'm thinking, and that may not be what anyone else wants to read.

The difficulties of broken families are numerous. Everyone expects the children to just "be okay." That's not normal, though. And, when you throw in new parental units, issues that would have long ago been very small suddenly seem the size of the planet.
How do you help them heal? How do you comfort family members who deal with anger, frustration, and sometimes hatred...the very things I deal with on a regular basis? All I've ever wanted is peace, love, and happiness for my 3 C's. That's all any family member wants for them...both sides of their families.How do you properly nurture their inner beings and keep from having them crushed by the weight of adult decisions?

Too many questions. Not enough answers.

I want to be a strong momma. I know they have a good daddy. The people that he and I have chosen to bring into our lives to help raise these babies should be nothing but positive role models.
I pray they BOTH are.

I struggle. Anger is HUGE when it comes to how the 3 C's are treated. Is it fair? Is it right? Are they properly nurtured from both sides?

All I can do is what I know to do. Love them. Hug them. Kiss them. Hold them. Smile at/with them. Be there for them. Cry with them.

Through all of this, I hope they become better people. I hope my 3 C's learn compassion, tenderness,
and understanding. Ultimately, that's all that matters.
