I haven't done it intentionally. It has just kind of worked out that way. My mother will be moving in with us very soon and will be in our living space until her apartment is finished. That will be a true test for me. Unsolicited advice is not something that I handle well but I'll have to grin and bear it, at least for a while.

I am also at the point in my life where I've decided to let go of all the bad, including the toxic people in my life, and really understand that my mistakes have helped to make me the person I am today. If we don't make mistake, we don't learn and if we don't learn, we don't grow and become the people we are meant to be. Wonderful post! Thanks for sharing!
