apsara60 @apsara60 (6609) • Israel 9 Dec 07

MarieJ23 I also saw that scenario apsara. There are a lot of children in this new generation who find their parents less important especially when they become older already. For me, asking for a space or sort of independence from their parents is okay but at least they...

MarieJ23 I also have my share of mood swings but it is not as changeable as yours. For me, one way to counteract mood swing is to let your mind rules over anything else in your system. If you feel sad, pause some time and reflect on what happened that triggers you to...
