There are many things a woman sacrifices in life some for freedom from familial ties, others abandon love for a costlier way of life.
Whether it be religion, generations of corrupt traditions, or simply the desperation for survival.
Whatever the reason, in some eyes its treason to stand for oneself and what we believe in, to not give all or to keep a little piece of what we created to them is an abomination.
People will say women have come a long way, the ability to vote or possess an opinion in what we in prior years were not able to meddle in.
Now we have a woman vice president! I cant wait to see the difference she will make, allot on her plate and with all eyes on her the sacrifice will be great. The easy part was the election now its living up to the words that gained her, her position.
In truth us woman have a lot to live up to, at the end of the day we feel responsible for others accomplishments, we want the best for our children so much so sometimes we spend a lifetime being miserable, just to make sure they have an opportunity to have opportunities, and to live life with the best possibilities.
I say now is the time for the Moms and Grandmas to take a stand and sever the delusion that because we believe and sacrificed for them to succeed that they will appreciate it and pass up all the mess, and choose life instead of slow death.
The truth is free will was a gift that sadly turned into a curse, not for all but for some, the choices they make are there's and do not in no way reflect your mommy skills or rate the love you give.
It is time to sacrifice for self and break the viscous cycle of hopeless, hope!
I'm not saying don't believe in them and offer the best you can to them, I'm saying stop being a sacrifice over and over for things you have no control over. You are worth the sacrifice someone else took for you to be happy and at peace, to find the true you!
