  1. I think many young people as well as older people live with hurt and these kinds of feelings because of their life experiences... like my own Mom did. Her family life as a child was really tough!! But, she and my Dad were determined to have a happy home together. It is important to share feelings and great we can find ways to make things better in the future. Great job!!
