In truth, we were all raised differently and I don’t know the case in your home but the bottom line is that every child, in one way or another, craves the approval of their parent. The more I loved school, the better I’d perform and the more proud I’d feel like I made them. Then came the pregnancy and I just felt like everything I’d worked for for so long just blew away in the wind. And it crushed me!
