Years ago, a newly divorced Gerald Rogers took to Facebook to reflect on what he wishes he would have known before it was too late. He admits there were a lot of things he could have done differently to save his marriage, and he openly shared the self-effacing letter in the most humble and real way.
"I was once the person that would say 'that kid wouldn't act like that if they were disciplined'. But oh did God have a plan of teaching me a lesson I didn't know I needed to learn, and making me eat those words."
And with an eye-roll, my daughter turned away... She can roll her eyes in a complete circle like a hamster wheel. “You’re in trouble,” I have heard from bystanders, friends, and family. “I am in trouble,” I, myself, have even said on multiple occasions.
"I’ve learned strong-willed toddlers grow up to be strong-willed teens. And that’s more than okay. It’s actually a blessing and I wouldn’t change it if I could."
