“Every mother has her own story. She has walked down a tough path. You don't know her challenges, her strengths, her weaknesses...Her life, you don't know any of it. She judges herself every day, she strives for the best every day."
"Normal to me, at five years old, was a mom who served as both parents. To me, a father was a drifter who came around occasionally and made you laugh. But who also caused your mom to cry behind closed doors when he left again unexpectedly."
“When your son hurts a girl’s feelings, it’s our job as parents to make him understand how saying things out of anger [and] upset can make other[s] feel."
