I know people can receive healing and release and encouragement from hearing of another's journey to healing...here is mine. May you know that other's have gone before you. May you never be afraid to ask why and always remember that God wants to hear from you...even if it is your shouts of cursing or your shouts of love.

What chance have they now?
Some days...when I seem to fail the most or when I lose the control or patience I am reminded of the thought that has plagued me since my children were born. What chance have they now? As much as I wanted and begged God for children...why did he give them to me? I feel like the most unqualified person to be called "mommy" by these two people. I mean some can be good parents because they can scrape together some kind of attack plan from their own parents...I certainly don't have even that. Everyday we live together I feel like I am swimming up stream...I am desperately trying to keep one step ahead of the challenges of parenthood. I am learning everything for the first time. What does nurture look like? What does healthy discipline look like? Will my kids only remember the times I fail? Will they remember the times I lock myself in my room and cry because I got frustrated and raised my voice? Will they grow up to be afraid of me? What chance have they now? Wouldn't a better woman have been better suited for Eli and Madeline? How could I ever be the best they deserve? How?
