13 - Tears

I had three boys so I certainly empathize with what you went through! It's hard, it's really hard because sometimes, no matter what you say, you just can't win the battle. It's great that you have a mom who listens and gives sound advise. Glad things worked out in the end. Great page!

Oh, hon... as the saying goes, I am having all the feels for you right now. I'm a stepmom, and there have been lots of teary phone calls made to my mom, usually behind a closed bedroom and closet door where my husband wouldn't be able to hear. I hope that writing this down and creating the layout were therapeutic for you! I can tell you put a lot of thought into which word strips and elements to use in your layers. Hang in there, mama - and remember that moment by moment, we need to allow ourselves the same grace we would give to our best friend if they were in our situation.

You've found a beautiful way to scrap something very difficult, it definitely gives that overwhelmed feeling. I'm glad things worked out in the end!
