Just seeing families full stop is very hard for me sometimes. The first few months it was almost unbearable. But it is good to remember that underneath the surface many, many families have problems and struggles and heartbreaks. If not right now, then they will in the future. Nobody gets out of life or out of families unscathed. I look back at previous blithe, unaware, unappreciative dilly and think how much she had to learn, and I look at young families and see how much they will suffer and learn in the future, and I sweat the small stuff of life a LOT less. Maybe it's good that you're learning these lessons earlier in life and in your daughter's life. This stuff is so hard, but we will come out of better people xx
