“Those boys are just like me.”
“Mom, I am not a pathetic loser...I am not my own worst enemy...I have an enemy and he is scared of me because I’m awesome.”
Karen truly is a remarkable mother that has learned some valuable lessons that we can learn from and see our own failings and happily move forward to do a better job at parenting with LOVE and understanding rather than shame and contention.
I love the way Karen puts some of these difficult situations into a simple form of understanding that we are all children of God trying to learn how to navigate life amid darkening challenges. We are not pathetic losers, we are amazing. The opposition would tell us otherwise, and we need not listen to the twisting of truth - hang on strong to what God tells us - we are His children. He loves us. He is cheering us on.
“It gave him someone to fight instead of himself.”
