SUCCESS STORIES

Read Susan’s Story

Just as my parents told me that I would never amount to anything, I was telling the same thing to my children. I never received love from my parents, just beatings and mistreatment. Parenting Matters changed my life forever. I thank you for your patience and work. I tell mothers to never give up and seek help and continue moving forward.
