5 Things Children Learn From Your Adult Relationships

Some parents may never realize it, but their kids are usually more observant than anybody else close to them. They don't seem to miss anything. Also, they can detect your emotional patterns, including the current mood you're in. If you have fights with your spouse, your children could easily see and sense the changes in your emotional well-being. They may also notice the smallest changes in relationships you have with your neighbors and friends.

Because of these examples, your children must learn positive and good values from your relationships, which will also impact how they'll handle theirs. Sometimes a typical pattern exists among family generations, and the descendants tend to follow such relationship patterns.

It's natural for your kids and teens to observe and follow your actions, down to the smallest details. Your stress management abilities are evident to them.

I'm not saying with counseling that things can't get fixed. I actually think you should try to fix something that is broken before just throwing it away. I understand that everyone has their breaking point. This list doesn't include cheating or physical abuse because those are not negotiable for me. Personally, infidelity is my absolute breaking point. Emotional or physical. There are real life stories from people on this list, but I was given permission to share, and the names have been changed to protect their identity.

When You're 21. #BehindTheBlogger

*Caution: This post is kind of sappy and make you feel all the feels. You have been warned. ;)*

It Was The Worst of Times #BehindTheBlogger

We are on vacation this week! Woo Hoo! But I want to share something with all of you for this week's #BehindTheBlogger prompt that was a hard time in my life.

I have told you all about how 2010 was the worst year of my life and how the events of that year lead to me suffering from post-partum depression. My daughter was born in December of 2010. I had been on bed rest for a month before she was born. Going from two incomes to one was very hard on our family, especially my husband. When my daughter was born, he would still party every weekend like we did before and every day when he would get home from work he would take a nap until my daughter went to bed, then play video games until midnight.

 
During that time, it was hard for me to understand why he wasn't willing to be more involved, but doing research I realized it was because he was depressed too. And why?
