“When life gives you lemons…..”

Ive always heard people say, “life is what you make it”, or “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade”. But i wish i could find it in my heart and mind to do that. Nothing good came from the things that traumatized, and changed me. It made me not be the mother or person i set out to be. My kids have no extended family. Every child should know how it feels to have grandparents! I have struggled to make ends meet all their life. To have to look at your child and tell them their PawPaw had shot himself,….please tell me how to make lemonade from that!?!? I know theres always people with worse situations. Hate for someone to tell someone that! Because, what hurts you, may not hurt them, and vice versa. Maybe you can handle something that breaks them, and they may be able to do they same. Wish i knew how to make things good. This a journey to find my place in the world, somewhere i belong, with happiness!
