I just want to say it's not easy being parent in today's society. All of us who are parents or acting as guardians, we all worry about our children! We worry about them no matter where they may be! I know personally that I worried about DDS getting involved in my life one of my any worst fears! Now that I been through a DSS Case and my mom currently has custody of my daughter who is now 5!
I truly understand how a little mistake that a parent makes can turn not only the parents world upside down but the child's as well! I can truly and honestly say I understand how easily a simple mistake a parent makes can cause DSS to come in the family's life!
I am working towards reuniting my daughter back into my home, where she belongs with me and her father. I am currently pregnant with my second child a little boy! I am so excited about having a son and how my daughter is going to react when her brother is born. I want my baby girl my pumpkin pie back home with me and be raised with her brother.
I also worry about my children being molested. I worry about my children just up and disappearing out of thin air and never being found! There are so many parents who still have not found their beloved children! Those parents who have found their children alive are blessed! Those parents who found there children but were murdered or found dead are still blessed because they have closure. The parents whose children who are still missing or who has never been found are in turmoil. They don't have any kind of closure. My heart goes out to you.
As a individual I am a worry wart as a parent I am even more of a worry wart. When you are child is not in your custody and is in someone else's custody or care you worry even more! Because we as the parent are not in controls or in in the loop were out child or children are at at every waking moment or minute! If anything was to happen to our child or children while in somebody else's care that's a guilt we carry for the rest of our lives!
As parents we will never stop worry about our child or children. I know as a parent I will never stop worrying about my children! I worry about my children if they are going to be a child that will follow in my footsteps or will succeeded beyond my dreams! I want the best for my children just like any other parent wants the best for there children!
As Parent I worry about my children growing up knowing I loved them enough to sacrifice the things I wanted for the things they wanted! I want my children to know I loved them enough to give up things just so they can and could have the best! I want my children to know just because I am their mom does not make me perfect! I am still human and I will make mistakes! What will make me a better person as individual and as a mom/parent is that I admit my mistakes to my children and apologize to them I still love them! As the parent the child will then learn from us how to recognize when they made a mistake and it's ok to admit the mistake to apologize for that mistake!
I have already admitted to my daughter that I have made a mistake and it will never happen again! For such a small and young child my daughter understands it takes time for things that she wants to take place! My daughter understands that concept better than adults do! Everything has its time and place.
There has been somedays all I wanted to do is cry all day! There have been days all I want to do is just yell
And scram in to the mountains! Every parent has there days and moments.
We as parents forget to take care of ourselves first. We as parents are always putting our children first and foremost! We forget we have needs to like we need to hair have some me time even if it's only for five minutes to relax and recollect our selves, thought and emotions!
If we can't take care of ourselves on a mental and spiritual level how can we take care of our children on any level. I had to learn this I can't keep putting myself in the back burner all the time as a parent. I have to make time for myself even if it's just for five to ten minutes for relaxing time in a hot bubble bath, reading, writing such as keeping a journal something to help the stress of the day, during the day or before the at begins!
