Who is supposed to raise whom in a parent and child relationship? Before becoming a mother, I was certain that I would be in charge of educating my children about life. I have two daughters, each with a variety of food allergies, and one with learning disabilities. While confronting my fear of feeding my children with food that could make them sick, and dealing with my older daughter’s reading and writing challenges, I learned from them as I worked through my own failures. It was a lonely journey. I realized I had to revisit my own troubles in order to help and support them. I let myself feel the frustration, anger and embarrassment with my own reading and writing issues and accept the fact that I too have a food-related health condition. Rather than running away from my hidden feelings or letting them repeat endlessly, I worked through them.
