We have been talking about parenting styles in class. As we
were talking it made me appreciate my parents so much more especially my
mom. My parents raised me with a
very good parenting style, which I am grateful for. One thing I realized is how amazing my mom is and how much
she has overcome. My mom grew up in a family where the parents used a vey
authoritarian parenting style. It was emotionally abusive. My mom was parented a
lot like the parenting exhibited in the movie Tangled. I know my mom has had a
lot of emotional baggage from it. I remember watching my mom struggle after talking
to her parents. My mom has come along way and she has broken the chain in her
family so that my posterity and I will not have to suffer as she did. I
realized how amazing it is that my mom broke that chain and that she doesn’t
have a lot of problems which can come with growing up in that. I called my mom to tell her how much I
love her and how thankful I am for all that she has done and over come. We were
both crying on the phone it was a very tender moment. It meant so much to my
mom to hear that. I have always told my mom that I love and appreciate her but
now I am able to understand a little better what she went through and how hard
it has been for her.
