"Walk a mile in someone's shoes" before you judge them keeps coming to my mind tonight.  Sometimes it's even those closest to you that "Judge" the way you feel.  Maybe it's because you have protected them by not telling them what you have been through.  Where is that line .....  Do you just let it go and continue to deal with their criticism.  Or hide the way you feel from them.  It's truly a damned if you do and damned if you don't ...... No matter what ...... you're wrong .......

It's completely true .... "A mother is only as happy as her Unhappiest child" .... Not a day, or night, goes by that I don't pray for and ask that my Father In Heaven watch over and protect my children, this includes my sons and daughter-in-law and my grandchildren.  When I know that one is struggling or hurting it weighs on my mind and heart.  It was so much easier when they were little and I could "chase the monsters away" with just a hug and a kiss.  If only it were that easy now ....
