@Rutterman Not sure whether I have shared this with you, my memory thinks it possible. My father was physically and sexually abusive. My younger sister carried a lifetime burden from 15 all through her shortened life. Like I'm in an AA meeting, I am now saying: "My name is Valentine. My father was a paedophile." Not proud to say this. Anonymity helps. I am processing it and probably always will. If there are stages, I am at the point of dismissing his existence. My father is irrelevant. Thank you for your support. I hope your case is processing with progress and peace. V.

Be there. Not just PHYSICALLY, but emotionally as well.
Teach your daughter's how REAL men should treat them
Teach your son's how to be a REAL man.

To show them that you love them through your actions, not your wallet. Listen and really hear what they are saying and respect their opinion, even if it doesn't match your own. Allow them to make mistakes, without judging them, forgiving them when they need forgiving. Treat your children how you wished you had been treated. Support them in their choices, give advice if asked, guidance when not asked. Laugh with them, be positive, make them feel valued and important. I could go on really and I could've said the same things about being a good mum.
