A death of your parent occurs, and your perspective on life changes. This week, my two sisters and I will be together for the first time in ten years. I can't wait. My eldest sister, Laura, lives in England. Every child wants to be number one in Mom and Dad's eyes.
Children are self-centered when they are young.
At one point, my mother had five children all aged 10 years or younger. As you may well imagine, sharing was a major issue in our household. After 3 years of being an only child, I told my daughter, Amanda, she was to become a big sister. Today my oldest son made me really proud to be his mother,my son who will be 18 years old this February fourth. When 'I hate you' hurts so bad you just want to die.
