Abuse occurs in all its forms, physical, emotional, financial, spiritual and sexual. Most of the human population would say that sexual abuse is the worst. In most cases, a child was led to believe they must endure to be exploited. Mother, if you tolerate the abuse, I guess that what they teach their children. In essence, you are helping your abuser guilty of abusing their children while keeping oneself.
I’ve always had a close relationship with my children. Children are not fools, is a gift from God to understand the difference between good and evil, and yes, your children know when something is wrong. Our girls are saying, (never let my husband yelling at me that way). Our boys say, (When I have kids, I’ll stick with the places and do things with them) is to you than your mother to teach those who have options and can not choose to be intimidated, not to be emotionally attacked.
If you do not want to hurt children travel adult evil. then either you must accept the conditions you live and be happy. Or you have to make a change, take it or leave it position. Making the decision to leave is huge! As women, we decided to abandon our responsibility to care for someone we love, set goals and totally gave us. Get Over It! I stop and think at the time I moaned and groaned at him wondering what the crap? Seriously, how much brain power do you really spend a man who is so unsure of themselves that you must put up with tantrums every day?
Mothers who no longer tormented by a man shouting through the attendance hurtful and lack of financial support, allowing their children to be abused.

They are bright and full of life, or are ill and depressed. That the atmosphere of your account at the home of his son falling. Will you do something?
I retired from a relationship with me and my children live with bullying, obnoxious behavior, without financial support. It was tough financially, but my children and I went. Every day, I had to bust my butt to keep a roof over our heads, food on the table and take care of all your needs as students, members of the band as a child. The best part of the separation was PEACE … them something to say about coming home and looking forward. There was a day that shrank a show from the top of your truck or opening the front door. There was a day when my children scattered and hid in their rooms. Now when I get home from work, my children are waiting for me. I work nights and get home at 23:00. We sat, catch up, visit, and if we do so without interference … life is good.

Motherhood Brings Meaning, But Maybe Not How You Thought It Would
It’s long been assumed that motherhood brings meaning to our lives. We guide, love, nurture and support our offspring and sometimes feel appreciated in return — all elements that can fuel our connectedness and satisfaction in the world. It’s easy to find meaningful moments as a mom, but it’s when things are tough that it seems we don’t know how to interpret what meaning is. What if the greatest reward and meaning of being a mother is the growth our children force us to do?
Being a parent is a very hard job no matter how you slice it, but to further the true blessing that children are is to work equally hard on being conscious and mindful of the growth our kids call forth in us. Perhaps your patience needs work or your critical side needs to be quieted or you need to learn compassion or you could stand to give up some perfectionism. Parenting in a kind and loving way can only come if we face these issues in ourselves. Maybe this is the true meaning behind being in relationship with these souls.
There is no greater hot button for me than feeling rendered irrelevant or ineffective. Not being able to calm and fussy baby or now, a pre-teen who is convinced they are unpopular and therefore unworthy of living are circumstances that can set me off into an irrational frustration that usually results in an ugly scene. I might yell or let something come out of my mouth that is less than constructive. Shame follows instantly but it has taken years to massage this issue into a submissive state where I can stay reasonably conscious and restrain from acting out of a lower consciousness. (i.e. dysfunctional behavior)
I know better. I teach people how to communicate more effectively, I teach spiritual concepts, I have practiced yoga and meditation. Why is this still hard? Because this is the real work. These children (I have a total of three) make me face my own demons, my own feelings of helplessness or unworthiness. It is only as I work through them that I can really be free and present for them. It is only through their presence refining me, the grain sand in the oyster, that a pearl will emerge. A pearl that brightens things for everyone once the work is done.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not about mom being perfect before she can parent. It’s about the path that dishes out its bumps and makes us better because of them. Our children are part of those bumps. Their problems are our problems, their personalities hand picked to iron out the wrinkles in our being, their triumphs ours to hope we had something to do with.
Each of my children shines a spotlight on the places where my capacity for love can stand to grow. Of course, they are all talented and beautiful and I love them more than anything, but they also grow me. And growth is often painful or at least uncomfortable. They are here FOR us — to grow us — they don’t come to us to just be lovely adornments to our life who exist to make us happy.
My fussy baby/pre-teen is very sensitive and TLC from mom is often not effective. I am still working on the patience and bandwidth needed to find an entry to his psyche that allows comfort and connection. It comes often but it’s an unpredictable series of attempts through the maze of his wiring to open him back to breathing at ease with the flow of life. It’s work and it’s a testament to love that we hang in there together to get back to it.
My middle child can be petulant and needs to be right at all costs. ARGH! Despite being beautiful, caring and talented in many creative ways, her resistance is a common stumbling block to discipline, cooperation and negotiation. Our relationship causes me to be confronted with my own need to be right. It took me a couple of years to learn that a power struggle was not going to be the answer.
I had to give up the fight to be right and learn not to be hooked by the pull of that game. I found a way to stay above the fray like a mature adult should (if they didn’t have their own wounds) and guide her to her own answers that often show her how very mistaken her logic is! Of course, I don’t gloat but I have finally learned to unhook from the drama that she is so good at creating.
My youngest has introduced me to the world of having a child with special needs. He’s had a seizure disorder and we’ve entered the world of special education. After four years, we have suddenly gone into remission and are hoping to be pronounced cured soon. The growth being asked of me through this child has been about trusting my judgment before that of experts and advocating for my child medically and education-wise. He has grown me into a warrior. Not a barbaric warrior, but rather a force to reckoned with who will draw on whatever strength I may not have even known I had to do right by him. Despite doubt, worry and sleepless nights, the challenge has been to remain mentally strong enough to keep looking for solutions and believe in my son’s ability to heal. Trying to stay in love instead of in fear. This has been part of my personal journey and what I work with clients on and here, it has been tested more and more.
Meaningful connections as mothers? Certainly! Always a sunny, easy ride? Hardly ever! Our children are in reality ministers to our soul’s growth. They have a higher calling then whatever their careers turn out to be. We have to let our little ministers to their very big work. Even if we, their mothers, are the greatest work they came to transform.
