Children

I swore as a child my children would never suffer as i had , they would never be alone hiding behind a couch at 3 or abused in any fashion, no one would mistreat them because they weren't there child or play tug o war with them! I love being a mom and have gained many other children by reaching out and loving them as my own, i do not understand or rather get angry over people who get involved with someone with kids and mistreat them . I know how difficult it is and have been a step child, child of divorced parents and a divorced mother.. Power play and tug o war not good , understanding ,patience and love always win out in the end.I have done this it works it is not easy kids will come around eventually not quickly!
