Teens (13-19)

"'You're such a good mother.' That's what they say, and I know they mean it kindly, but it's all that anyone ever sees about me or knows about me. 'Elly Sparrow, good mother.' That's not about me, that's about my kids. How they behave, how they look. What if I didn't have kids? What about that person? Somewhere in here is me." Quote from Rules for Mothers by Julie Swendsen Young.
