This is so true, Melissa. When I was a child I couldn’t wait to be an adult, to reach 21 so I could do whatever I wanted. I never considered how hard it was to be an adult and have to always try to make the right choices, how things were often a struggle.
One day I would find out, and wish I could go back to being a child.
Yes, there is good and bad in all of us, and often it is those closest who hurt us the most. Thank you for sharing this.
