it is a sad story, more of how your mentors crushed you and weren't aware of the power of their words. the power of your story however, is that you learned how to change your story from one of regret and remorse to one of gratefulness.

I'm sure the lessons you learned will be helpful in your parenting!

It's interesting how our perspective changes when we see it through grace instead of pain. Thanks for sharing!
