5.01 | Are we victims?

[7babies]

I don't feel like a victim.  I do feel like I'm on a runaway bus. My instinct is to grab the wheel. I am working on realizing my child needs to grab her own wheel. It's harder to realize I may have to jump off the bus and let her take care of herself.  Every mother gene I have is screaming to stay with her. That's a lot of evolution to overcome. I'm only making progress for the sake of my other 6 kids and dh.
