Yes! I feel like if I include the struggles, then one day when they're struggling with something similar, they'll know they're not in uncharted territory & there's light at the end of the tunnel. So if they're dealing with some behavior issues or something with their kids instead of thinking, "man, my mom had it all together and I just can't figure this parenting thing out" (you know, because I'm so sure that's how they'll remember me, hahaha) they'll see that we dealt with it & survived. And I think it's a good message for them about unconditional love, too.
