It wasn't about the presents or cards, although those were nice. Our daughter has not been an easy child. A tester of limits, a tester if I was going to stick it out. Being an adoptive parent is a deeper commitment in some ways than being a birth parent. Our daughter has made me cry ugly many times. In the last two years, something has clicked within her. This Mother's Day, she said to me, "You have stayed with me and loved me no matter what. I am so glad that you decided to be my mom." Despite all the training, I have had. I am trained in trauma. The interventions that I know are clinically effective, but at the end of the day, we are simply a mother and daughter. | | | | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
