A great video about being a parent, more specifically a mother and wife... a woman is speaking to her young daughter.  

I watched it and decided it would be a good fit here for people to watch.

Hope you enjoy it.  Reply and let me know what you think of it, how it effected you, etc.

"How hard is it being a wife and mom?"

Happy New Year

Very appropriate and see the parallel between the subject and Al-Anon. Happiness and personal success cannot be dependent on other's, it must come from within first.

Thank you John for sharing the link and wishing you a happy and successful 2016!

Wow, powerful message about not making others responsible for our happiness.  I like how she described it as a "paradox," because honestly there have been times when I found it quite difficult to balance caring for others while also taking responsibility to care for myself.  It is great to see that someone in the public eye also struggles with these same issues.
