Love Shows
Being happy and healthy is noticeable; and not with the act people portray as being happy, but aren't really. Those brief smiles and hellos that are shallow and to the surface can lift our spirits up for a little while. Real happiness comes from healing the past, and being mentally stable enough to put the left foot forward, and then the right foot. Walking a straight path of stability and accomplishment in ones life pattern and goals.
Children know way more than we tend to give them credit for. They intuitively know when something is wrong even if we say all is well. They know if they are loved or not. If they know they are not liked or if they feel they are not loved they will behave in a manner fitten for misfortune. Due to their feelings and environmental circumstances. As a parent we are responsible for our own happiness and the welfare of our children. By being happy, understanding, sympathetic of ideas, needs, and wants will make all the difference in that child's life.
I Love You / I Care
If you don't love yourself than how can you really love anyone else? You must care about yourself enough to love your own self in order to begin from square one to love someone else. Mental illness can cause distortions of feelings and ideas of what is what, or how things truly are.
If you carry wounds from a misfortunate childhood or from a bitter marriage and need those ideas and thoughts healed. From the circumstances you went through than talk to a loved one or close friend. In addition, there are wonderful self help books out there that will assist in the healing of emotions process. Furthermore, if the issues require intervention from a professional source then consider seeing a therapist, counselor or psychiatrist.
You want to begin on the correct path again for another try. Life is work and in order to be mentally stable, loving, and truly supportive without being co-dependent than we need to be mentally fit, with healthy ideas and thoughts.
If you can look in the mirror at yourself and say "I love you" and really mean it than you are on the right track of healthy emotions but if you have any mixed feelings about it or can't stand to look at yourself than how can you be a good parent? If you have issues with yourself then whom ever is around you is just a mirror of how you really feel about yourself.
