Im thinking of you, I wish your kids really knew what they did to you, when they put you down, I believe they would surely change their ways to their mum, they know not what they do. You believe in love and commitment, and nurturing other people, you believe in the power of self, the strength of a woman, and that everyone has the right to feel safe and secure. You learn from your wise boys that everything has a purpose, we are on our journeys to grow, to strive for our own greater good, both our light and our dark has a purpose. Your wisdom comes from your pain and experiences, just like us all, but you my friend are a good teacher, some people are natural born teachers and that is special, that alone gives you the ability to help others. Others have to learn to teach and become good at it, some teachers really should get another job, for they are truly waisting everybody's time. Your children are used to you being their mum and nothing else, when they are older and wiser they will look back and understand more. Maybe they feel like other people have taken their place in your life and they can't comprehend why these people have put you on a pedal stool, your only a mother after all (the minds of the young), the people who do put you on a pedal stool are so busy feeling low about themselves and need someone to help them, that they also don't realise that they are draining you, and you are such a giving beautiful soul that you keep on giving more than you should. Im sure lots of people see you as having the perfect life, playing in the cottage everyday. Little do they realise that it is a full time job and more taxing than a normal job, because you work a lot with people who are suffering from low self esteem and depression, they all don't realise that you also have this battle which you very successfully manage to cover while you are working. Maybe your children are resentful of the fact that you show a different strength when at the cottage, the fact that you can counsel others with depression, when they live with you, warts and all, and see you suffering your depression, and can't understand how people can think that you can fix them. The fact is that because of your experiences you are a good counselor, because you understand where there at, that is why they are comfortable with you. My only concern is that you are looking after yourself first, and please don't take on other people's shit, and worry to much about them, you can be there for them, but you need to be there for yourself first. You are important. You have become my mentor, but not on a pedal stool, I know we are equal and powerful women (witches).
I love you, I am your friend, .if I can help in any way, I will.
