And it makes me wonder....

I know a lot of people have horrible things in their life that they struggle with...and often rise above! What is it that draws a person into addictions of all kinds? I try to figure that out in my life, and I always come back to guilt about how I raised my children...a child myself when I had them, no parenting skills learned from my mother or father, and no support group (family). I screwed up from ignorance, but I never allowed myself to forgive myself until today as I write this out on this blog. The guilt needs to come into my mind like a cloud, and I need to let it go like a cloud moving across the sky.The forgiveness needs to perch on my soul and stay there. Forgiving yourself is the HARDEST forgiveness there is.
