Mommy vs. media in sexualization of girls: Where are the dads?

[ismnotwasm]

54. In retrospect

I wish I could have helped her more, understood her better. She had a number of problems, and she pissed me off regularly, but I never understood the pain lived with until long after her death.

I've taught the girls, (women now) that she did the best she could with what she had. Still both of them lived in great fear of becoming 'like' her. The older one is so relieved she is a successful and loving parent, that she wants to emulate my oldest, and be a stay at home Mom.
