If you were cussed at, threatened, and bullied as a kid, you can choose to treat others with kindness.

If you were mocked, you can treat others with empathy.

If you were raised in a toxic family, you can have a healthy family.

If you were raised in a filthy environment, you can choose to have a clean environment for your kids to be raised in.

If you were raised in chaos, you can choose to raise your kids in peace.

If you were raised in a heathen home, you can raise your kids in a godly home.

If you had to walk on eggshells in your home, you can raise your kids in a home where they feel safe. Safe to express every emotion, feeling, and sadness without fear of being yelled at, or cussed at, or hit.

If you were raised where you were made to feel like a bother, you can raise your children to know they are precious beyond anything in this world.

If you were raised in an angry home, you can choose to have a calm home.

If you were raised by abusive parents, you can choose to be loving.

You have to ability and the power to break whatever cycle you were raised in.

Take the hurts, take those bad moments as a kid, and determine that your kids will have it differently.

You don't have to follow patterns. You don't have to keep the cycle going.

You have the ability and the power to change it for your kids.

You can provide the calm, happy, loving home that they need.

You can give them good memories.

You don't have to be the source of their pain, in fact, you can be the source for being their "safe." The one they talk to when going through things. The one they can tell anything to. The one that they know will love them deeply and unconditionally.

Their calm.

Their safe.

Their refuge.

You can be the change that your kids need.

You choose to be that change, and no one else can choose that for you.

You've got this.
