Oh Krista! I have tears in my eyes reading your journal. I am so sorry you have such a harsch relationship with your parents. You are such a nice and caring person and you deserve so much more. As for your own family, I think you are a fantastic mom and m-i-l. Your kids are so lucky to have you as their mom.
I love your layout though. I love the photo and all the layers, clusters and details.
I just wish I could hug you right now and have a drink with you!
That cute photo paired with your heavy subject matter shows what a true gem of a person you really are. I guess we can learn from other's mistakes and do better ourselves. I'm sending you a virtual HUG, and maybe we can get that drink later this month.
Wow. This is all so... perfect? Well, perfectly expressed and perfectly presented in such a beautiful way. Sorry about what you've dealt with (are dealing with) but I'm glad you have your wonderful husband and children surrounding you.
{{{HUGS}}}
So sorry to hear that you've been hurt by all the little slights over the years. Shocking behaviour by your dad. He should know better. Glad you have such a loving family with Brian and your kids to give you the love and support you deserve. Beautiful journaling and love how you paired it with the quirky photo. Love this page!
Just beautiful and heartfelt journaling, it sucks that we should have to carry burdens like this through adulthood. Hugs to you. I love the photo and all the little bits you have used in this layout.
Oof, that's a hard read and I'm so sorry you have such a poor relationship with your parents but they are the ones missing out on how cool you and your family are, which I can tell just by the photo!
