Marilyn: Once you have a child that's when it brings back all that other stuff that happens.

Shania: you get more emotional, more anxieties. And you feel for children more. That is so true. You realize how fragile they are, how much they depend on you. When I was a kid honeslty there was a lot of times I couldn't depend on my parents, they weren't there, they wanted to be there but they couldn't. I felt I raised myself in alot of the times and I'm sure my family feels the same way at certain points. But I felt strong enough to do it when I was a kid for some reason. I felt I could do it, kids are resiliant. I managed somehow don't know how I did it. NOw when I look back I feel BAD for myself...not then but now. When I look back now and I have a 4 year old and he can't do this, he can't get up and get ready for school, I was probably cooking at 5. I couldn't let him, I need to be there for him. I know my mother wanted to be there to but she couldn't, she would have if she could have.
