Genetics…. The gift that keeps giving.

Today I am sitting at the physical therapist with my daughter.  She is here to help with pain from joint instability due to hypermobility. Yay! (That’s sarcasm in case you didn’t know).

There are moments as a mother where I feel horrible for passing on my less than stellar genetics. But there is really nothing I can do about that. 

As I watch my kids struggle with things I struggle with it hurts my heart. I don’t want them to deal with the pain that I’ve dealt with. Then I remind myself that they are their own road to travel, and I am there to help them along the way, if they are willing.  I have researched and learned through trial and error things that help, and things that don’t.

I might not have had a choice in which genetic flaws got passed down, but I do have a lifetime of experience to help them out.
