While I set my boundary in my village – it’s hard. My boundaries are breaking years and years of traditions of people who think there is nothing wrong. Of people who would rather live in denial as it takes any child’s innocence for their benefit, comfort or ego. We have heroin addiction, pedophilia, alcoholics, narcissistic assist and a lot of manipulation in our blended families. My husband’s family comes from England and mine from Ecuador so you can see the blend.

I do this for my daughter, I do this for my husband as we both walk side by side in wanting better for our daughter. But it is hard some days. Just know you are not alone, you are part of a new generation. Let’s hope it’s better than what it is now.

Thanks.
