When It's All You've Ever Wanted.

As something of a follow-up to this morning's indulgent post...

I know how difficult it is to be a good wife and mother.  Especially, when it's all you've ever wanted.  But what I'm learning, is that I need to cut myself a little slack and breathe.  It's all okay, and I'm actually a better everything when I'm vulnerable and feeling.  DING DING!

So, here's where the barking stops.

My child is healthy.  My husband is supportive and loving.  I am fortunate on so many levels, for so many things...

So strangely, what I mean to say, is that I respect my mother even more for her incapability.  Yes, parts of me want to blame her for my feelings of ineptitude, for my insecurities, but it isn't her fault.  She just didn't have the coping skills to be for everyone else.

And what I need to learn, is that I'm not her.  My problems aren't hers, and vice versa.  I make a conscious decision each day to be either happy or not, and control is a cop out.

Myself, on the other hand, I will not fail at communicating, loving, or most important, knowing myself through and through. 

THREE CHEERS for vulnerability!  Now, let the real fun start.

What are your emotional setbacks?  I'd love to know...
