Abuse Destroys

Parenting is one hard job! Our children really put us through it sometimes. The way we respond to them and treat them through the years shapes them for life. They deserve respect just as the parent does. If you're yelling or always angry, if you're calling them ugly names or trying to control them, it's so damaging to them! Manipulation, controlling and abuse are wrong, no matter what! There's never a time to threaten or call

names. If this is the behavior that you exhibit with your children, get yourself help before you do permanent damage. It really doesn't take much to crush them! I'm witnessing the devastation this causes  right now and it's very sad. Our children deserve to grow up to be confident, independent, well adjusted and happy adults.~pm
