“I think I would have become a lot darker lately if I didn’t want to live for her. “You are better than me because you want your children to be,” she said. Of course, I am the mother and hope to provide them with a safe place and stability. But I’m also the one they make fun of, and I see them taking over a lot of different aspects of our family.”
