Story 1:
When I failed my first year at university, my parents didn’t get angry or upset. My mom sat down next to me while I was bawling my eyes out in shame, and hugged me until I calmed down. She said it wasn’t the end of my life, and that she was, and always will be, proud of me. © forgetful-giraffe / Reddit

For illustrative purpose only
My mom told me that no matter what I did, she’d always love me and be there for me. That didn’t mean she wouldn’t tell me when I messed up, because she did, but she’d help me work out whatever problem I made for myself, while still letting me learn a lesson.
That meant I always turned to her instead of some other teenagers when I was young and needed help. I was only minimally afraid to tell her when I did something wrong, and I never felt judged. Doing my best to build that same type of relationship with my own daughters. © actuallyidontthinkso / Reddit
