Don’t Make the Mistakes I Did….

I've been reading African American Dad's site for a few weeks and this post touched me. He talks about the mistakes he's made in his life and wonders how to keep his son from doing the same in the future.  I often worry about that for my boys. Am I doing the right thing? Do they need me to be strong or understanding? Am I giving them what they need? That seems to be the hardest part to me.  As a child I often claimed that my parents were always doing the wrong thing with me, but it wasn't until adulthood did I appreciate what they believed to be the right things.  

I came to the conclusion that I have to use my best judgment  and be myself.  I seem to make matters worse when I stray from my strengths.  Stop by AAD's site and take a look and see what you think.
