Jodi PicoultBeing a good mother, it seemed to me, meant you ran the risk of losing your child.
About This Quote
Being a good mother means that she takes care of her child with all she has, even though it may sometimes make her feel like she is not there for her child. She is always ready to listen to her child's problems and give her suggestions to help her with them. "Being a good mother" does not mean that you are living with your child. It means that you are always ready to help your child if needed, but at the same time you do not interfere or take over in any way. You let your own life go on, but you never forget about your child.
