Being a mother is an easy thing to become. Being a good mother is a challenge and something I think we all aspire to be. Being a mother that can accept hat she can't do everything on Pinterest or that is in the various magazines and tv shows is human. Being a mother in a relationship with an alcoholic is far more difficult.
Have I shown Christian love when I should have? Have I been repulsed by inappropriate behavior? Have I been insulting towards their father when I should have? Have I condoned the inappropriate drinking? The risk of my children becoming alcoholics is increased. Have I planted the right seeds to prevent that from happening? Have I been respectful of their father when I should be? Have I set them up for codependency in their future? I pray not.
I am truly blessed to have amazing kids and pray that what mistakes I have made are lessons for them as well and what I have done right, remains with them. May God show them the He can do immearsureably more than asked or imagine so that they know they can always turn to God. Praying that they turn to Him in faith and not due to similar trials. May God always be with them.
