Aray, I don't think that your mother turned into an alcoholic because she was stressed from raising her children. I think most of us are stressed on a daily basis. We all have struggles. You would not turn into a person like that, you sound like a good mom.
There are days that I am so stressed, and I feel like the world is tumbling down around me, but I CHOOSE to be strong enough to struggle and make it for my daughter. Granted, I have lots of support, but it has just been me and my daughter since the day she was born.
Yes, there will be struggles. The question is, are you willing to fight and win the battles and struggles, or do you think it will make you bitter? Do you not want to deal with it?
My daughter is very adjusted, very smart and I love her with my whole heart. There are days I want to ring her cute little neck, but she knows that I am here for her, I take care of her and support her....and I personally think she is going to turn out to be a great person! She comes first. I come second. Even on the days I just don't think I'll make it, God always gives me the strength to pull through. If you choose to keep the baby, and put her first, it will work out. You just have to choose to not be that person.
