I’ve talked to my counselor about my fears and I’ve started to address those fears. And I’ve made a decision about having kids. I’ve decided that it’s definitely something I want. Not right now, but in the future. Even though I’ve made this decision, sometimes my fears creep back in my head when I think about my childhood and hear my mom yelling at me. But like I told the women I gave that speech to, life is full of choices and those choices determine what path you end up on. When I said those words, I was describing my past, but those words also apply to my future. I can make the choice to be a good mom. To be completely different than my own mom. The past doesn’t have to dictate the future. And I have examples of that right in front of me. Like my friend, Sara. She grew up with a bad mom and yet Sara is one of the greatest moms I know. Then I think of Pearce. Holton was a terrible father and yet Pearce isn’t like that. Despite his dad’s influence on him, Pearce tries really hard to be a good father.
