What my Mom’s addiction taught me about shame, resilience, and grace

Melanie, thank you so much for sharing your journey and powerful insights.  This line from your posting really resonated with me:  "...stand in awe at what she had to carry, instead of standing in judgment at how she carried it..."

You're an inspiring writer and I am looking forward to future postings! 

With gratitude, Karen 

Melanie:

What a poignant and powerful piece. It made me tear up many times. Thank you. I'm sharing over at Parenting with ACEs. And I am so glad you are doing this work and sharing. Cissy

Beautiful tribute to your mother, Melanie. Thanks for sharing with the ACEs Connection community.
