 The "struggle" is not necessarily a life sentence...
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

Thank you for your honesty about your own parenting, Christine. Child abuse effects can, and often do, follow well into adulthood. When it comes to parenting, it's important that my visitors understand that the effects of child abuse can result in being too lenient as a parent.

Regarding your "struggle," Christine, as you continue through this process, you may be surprised to learn that you are NOT doomed to "struggle to some degree for the rest of my life." At the stage you are now at, it feels that way; but as you grow and learn some more, as you find your stride both personally and spiritually, I have faith that you will discover the joy and peace you so deserve.
