When my daughter was born I was determined that she should grow up to be an independent soul. I encouraged her to explore the natural world and art, and later to take her education seriously. It was important to me that she joined a profession which she could rely on and which would allow her to support herself and her children.
Everything went well and she enjoyed her independence and was a free spirit for several years until she made the mistake of allowing someone into her life who was jealous and wanted to control her. Of course some rewards came out of this relationship for she has two lovely children.
But she has also suffered years of upheaval and control, with more downs than ups. All this she has endured and more.
But she has finally broken free and her independent spirit has taken off again, giving her the chance to restart her life.
Lesson learned - do not allow anyone to take control of your life - for, as I said yesterday
Everything you do is based on the choices you make. It is not your parents, your past relationships, your job, the economy, the weather, an argument, or your age that is to blame. You and only you are responsible for every decision you make.
It has been a hard few months for her during which she tried to keep her resolve, and not influence her children into takinge sides, or allow the unbalanced force which was mentally trying batter her into submission, to take over - but her determination to be free and her strength of mind, and the support of her family saw her through.
She has been stronger than I ever imagined she could be.
