Subject Basically I screwed up
Body: I know that the number one rule of parenting is to never admit when you make a mistake. That way you kids will believe in us, and think we know best...sometimes we don't. I really screwed up. I believe in you girls, and I should have believed in myself enough to keep us together. I should have done whatever it took to keep this family together. You are fantastic, intelegent, strong women, and you can do anything (and I mean anything) you want. You come by that naturally and I am about to show you where it came from. I am proud of you! I want you to be surrounded by people that will be supportive and put you before anything else in this world....you deserve that and so much more. Always remember that real strength comes in building someone up, not tearing them down...and if someone is too busy pointing out your faults it may be in hopes of diverting the attention from their own short comeings. Not to get all religious on you, but I once heard a person that was legally dead for over a minute say that they saw the light and the meaning of life was in the love that you share here on earth, nothing else..just love. With you kids I have loved enough in every second to last a lifetime...Don't pick your battles, pick your support systems! I would give/do anything to keep us together...help me find an answer.
