A Vicious Cycle Broken

My mother was not the best example to look up to for guidance. She did not know or understand how to be a good mother, friend, or nurturer. I have devoted my life to changing the cycle of failure and being the best mother and friend to my children, Krestain and Kristian, that I possibly could be. They have changed my outlook on life, and have made me a better person. I am to this day thankful that my mother treated me the way she did. I now know what it takes to be a great mother to my children, and have changed the cycle for years to come.
