"Appreciate yourself and give yourself a lot of credit for the way you are bringing up your children.
Have hope, have faith and believe, that trouble doesn't last always.
Realize how amazing your children are and give yourself a huge hug of love, pat yourself on the back and know, that you are doing the best you can do."...
