When I was your age...
 

I wrote a blog post today, one that's been nagging at me for quite a while. It's sensitive, but it needed to be written:

I can relate to a lot of what you wrote. You are an inspiration to have made it to where you are. :heart (I wonder is your DS is a type 2 with his interest in your childhood!)

Thank you for sharing that. So much of it I can relate to. And I wish more people could come at parenting like this.

:hugheart I feel like I have these moments constantly. I'll never forget the revulsion I felt when I looked at my then three year old'daughter and thought about something that had started around then. I had thought about it as a non-parent, and it was horrible, but it was having a child that age to hold a little mirror up to the absolute horror of it.
