I guess you needed to find yourself and define yourself for what you wanted out of life. You made the reight decision at the right time and your poem is a good expression of that.

    I knew that I wasn't the type person that will lie about my family and I can't be around or support that negative influence. Especially around my children. I wanted to always be a good role model. I really appreciate your review and understanding the poem. I really love all the people on fanstory.com. It's like having a huge family. Happi

I have often heard that those who grow up with bad parenting often rise up and are much more successful raising their children. Very well written.

You have the right idea and that is to not dwell on it. There
s too much going on now to dwell in the past. You are strong one poet.

This poem should be available to all those kids ignored by their parents. When everything goes against them, they find it so hard to push through and succeed. An excellent poem with a good life lesson. Just because people can have children does not mean they should have children.

I feel your sorrow or perhaps your concern as to why you were not recognized for the things you did around the house. But your training is over now and you can live your life to please your self as you go. Thank you for your poem.

Yeah, family can sometimes disappoint and your right take care of those closest to you, the immediate. I love this poem because it speaks the truth and it brings out your passion. I see absolutely nothing to change or crit.

It has been my observation that sometimes to find a happy family, one must leave and search elsewhere. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a good read.

    Thank you and yes you are right. It took me forty four years to let go. It taught me some great lessons on how to be fair and loving to my own kids. Happi

This is a nicely written poem about feeling hurt by the family that raised you. I am glad that you have overcome the pain of this childhood, and you are a good mother to your children despite the way you grew up. Good for you and god bless.

good rhyming couplets including the good proximate rhyme of note/choke
how sad that some children never feel loved or valued no matter how hard they try to please and achieve - your message is an uplifting one - from such experiences we can be motivated to do everything so much better than our parents did :-) Brooke

This poem has been written in a very simplistic way, which adds to its beauty. The feelings are easy to understand and come out well. Good work.
