and she will be loved..

My 5 year old told me she doesn't like her skin and she is horrible. How do you tell your daughter, who is stopped on the street for being beautiful, that she is fine... We work so hard to bring stability to our families and teach our daughters that beauty lies with in our self. Then the world says the things we have fought so hard not to hear... This (I'm ugly) crap. We shelter them from bad TV. We feed them organic food and keep them from the harshness of the world.. How do we make them love themselves? The everyone is a winner doesn't work ... the I'm O.k. your o.k. doesn't work. The strongest do survive. How do we teach our children to be caring people, when the survival instinct and alpha cruelty gene is so strong. I am a survivor yet, I nurture. I am the Alpha female but I teach niceness.. if you people hurt my cub I will teach her to destroy you. Play nice and I will be nice if you don 't ..... really I just want to give my daughter a safe place , a place where she is loved . no matter what I will be there for her ... the good,the bad, the ugly. I am there and I will always love her. Life is one hell of a journey, with out someone in your corner. I will always have her back. I can't fight for her but I can say, bring your troubles, Mommy's here. snuggle in I'll listen.
