The voice inside your head....

I don't know about other people, because their life experience is different than mine, but I know that tough times have led to two relationships unlike any other in my life, one with my mother, and the other with my daughter.  (I have a pretty unique relationship with my son, too, but it's different, and anyway, this isn't about him!)

I lost my father at age 12, and ironically, my daughter was 12 when her dad and I separated.  Although each situation was different, it was also surprisingly the same.  Thoughts, feelings, emotions - they were often mirror images at the same age.  I have had the unique opportunity to experience both sides of that coin, and it has allowed me insight to both women that I would otherwise not have had.  As hard as it has been at times, it is a privilege to be in my life, sandwiched by these two strong and independent women.
