Feminists

the beginnings of forming relationships are always difficult. And mothers seem to bear the brunt of dealing with the resulting and recurring traumas. Thinking back to those situations in my own life, my mother's advice was always good and wise. Still, I continued to have to learn lessons for myself. Maybe that's all part of the growing independence of adolescents. Poor moms...they want to help, but can't always.

If it helps, those wise words from my mother finally sank in and helped inform my development and led to fewer and fewer mistakes in relationship building.
