Oh sweetpea. We can never expect anything from anyone. I understand your need and want to be acknowledged. I remember once feeling that way also. Time & a lot of years (please dom't think this is about age it's not - it just took me personally a lot of time) I realised that it was me that had to be happy with my job. It was from that that grew confidence and trust in my ability.

As Audax says: the poor evolved fella doesn't know what an amazing woman you are because he is just not grown up enough.

What you have done alone sweetheart - and not just alone but well - really well... Well some women can't do that with a partner, age and resources. I want you to know you are an inspiration. You are truly a beautiful young Woman with a wisdom beyond your years.

Grace is very very blessed to have chosen you to be her Mama. Big things are in store for you darling - look inside and know what you want him to tell you is true. Just look inside and really really know that.
