I think this is important information that so many parents don't understand. I always tell my parents that in order to help their children, they need to be healthy and stable to be good role models.

Great post..thanks for recognizing the importance of taking care of self! I started this self-care journey a few years ago based on Renee Trudeau's book, The Mother's Guide to Self-Renewal and can tell you that I am less resentful, happier, and saner when I take care of myself emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. The famous quote by Audre Lord, "Self-care is not about self-indulgence, it's about self-preservation" is spot on!

Thanks - I agree that we must take care of yourself in order to be an effective parent.
