I never thought of myself as that mother who would be hearbroken when my children left me.
Daycare, kindergarten, sleepovers, even my forays into manic related escapes. All of that, I was a survivor. After all, to me, this was what I thought being a good parent was. Preparing your children for their own lives. Without you.
My children never clung to me. They had their needs and I took care of them. Loved them. Ardently even. Held their hards to keep them safe....
