Thanks Jaq. That is so important for me to hear and know and remind myself about. I broke the cycle. I was determined their lives would be different to mine and I treasure our bonds so so much. We are far from a perfect couple with perfect kids but we have love and fun and commitment. We all care fiercely and protectively. A and I created that. Despite him losing his dad at a young age and me having what I had, we have a lot to be able to sit back and say... We did a good job. I'm proud of us.
