Nobody Cares About My Story, But You Would Be Enlightened If You Did

Although the people from Oprah didn't review my book, Charismatic Connection. They did send a personalized letter saying, it sounds "uncommon, yet enlightening."

To which my publicist said, it was a great commentary on my book, they don't normally send a personalized letter. It's nice when we know they truly considered the book, considering what a huge outlet it is!

The Understanding of Soul Mates and Twin Flames Evolved over the years, but not in a good way. It was meant for the Age of Aquarius, not for mainstream society in the Age of Pisces.

First, most think a soul mate is ordinary and second, most don't have a worldview that includes a connection to one's passion, which is connected to your soul mate's passion. My story involves my passion, it is not your (the reader's) passion.

However, the underlining message of my story is that Chris and I woke up from our deep sleep, and recognized each other from time immemorial. But the recognition was not familiar to our conscious minds (ego), nor did it feel like we have known each other all our lives.- That definition is a misconception from the people who mistake the personality (ego) for soul recognition. In an ordinary attraction, it feels like home and familiar to our personality (ego). The connection Chris and I had was about our deepest most profound essence, in short- our souls. 

Charismatic Connection:

Chris and I …

1988–1991- Waking each other up to the power of soul recognition.

1992–1999- Getting in touch with our own souls, and the Beloved. And working on our egos.

1999- Receiving a Charismatic gift from our own souls, and the Beloved. We are Fully Awakened now, to our own souls, and our connection.

Reviews...

"You will enjoy reading this book to the end and learn something about yourself as well. Hat's off to Serena Jade! Pick up a copy today. I was given this book by Smith Publicity Inc."- Maryanne Koopmann (Book Reviewer) - Reviews for Amazon.com, GoodReads.com and BarnesandNoble.com.

"Charismatic Connection is a beautifully written [story] in which the main characters are soul mates who meet again and recognize each other at a deep spiritual level long before their lives become intertwined through thoroughbred racing. They are both protagonists with deep sorrow in their immediate lives, seeking solace but constantly torn from the immediate connection and pull they felt towards each other from time immemorial. The book is truly for romantics and horse lovers, as the plot is revealed through the running of many well-known horse races and events that keep bringing the two main characters into contact with each other, in ever-deepening ways. The book is one that will keep you reading to the end, with amazing spiritual overtones in a way that will draw you in."-Bonnie Neely, Real Travel Adventures Magazine Editor


"The device of telling the twin stories of Serena Jade and Chris Antley using alternating narrators works, especially in that it creates a sense of immediacy and intimacy. Readers feel as if they have been given a unique and privileged window into the hearts and minds of two people. Experiencing the stories in this way means that by the end of the book, readers feel they truly understand the suffering both Serena and Chris have withstood, as well as your struggles to transcend the limitations and weaknesses of their less formed selves."-Francesca, CreateSpace Editor


Thank you for writing a true to form book which has a lot of didactic value about Love Connection and thrivorship.  Your insight, vision, and the way you compiled your narratives was compelling. This book so far among a sample of our readership, has expanded the consciousness and ideas of women from various social, economic and cultural backgrounds offering a sense of hope and providing an oasis of information as to how to live a life triumphantly. The ideas articulated through your prose resonate deeply within the human condition. Charismatic Connection was brought to our attention through your publicist and a randomly selected group of 20 members of our readership were assigned to choose four books out of 12 to determine ones that stood out and would appeal to our audience.  Charismatic Connection is truly one of a C A T A G O R Y of its own. Your passion and dedication inspires me.- Joslyn Wolfe, Publisher of Focus on Women Magazine. 


"This movie totally captured the love of two people who were destined for each other... This book totally captured the love of two people who were destined for each other. As just as important, it is their love of horses that binds them in a story that shows the human spirit overcoming all major difficulties and disappointments. You can really feel the soul searching that each of them went through. And, in addition, this is a true story -- and it is incredibly uplifting! And for the horse lovers, it takes you deep into the workings of the all the major race tracks -- Del Mar, Santa Anita, Keeneland, Aqueduct, Saratoga -- and some that are no longer around -- like Garden State Racetrack.. It has a feel of "Secretariat" and "Seabiscuit", and you will end up pulling for them both!"-Beth Hegedus


"I have just begun reading this book, and wow! I cannot wait to read more and see how it all ends. It is very readable and enjoyable. I am inspired to travel to these places. As a writer and artist I deeply appreciate the honesty of this book. To read a bit about me, [...] Thank you Serena Jade for your lovely book. I will post another entry when I finish reading your book. Finished the book...wow!"-Frank Landfield


"This book is for anyone who believes that our spiritual connections extend far beyond the lives we lead in the present. Set against the beautiful, world-wide locations of her extensive travels. Jade links myths and dreams to real life and explores the meaning of all three. Part allegory, part-crossed romance and part self-discovery. Serena Jade's journey is deeply heart-felt and eye-opening."-Julie R


"Charismatic Connection is a wonderful memoir telling the stories of Serena Jade and jockey Chris Antley. If you want to meet a true soul mate, Charismatic Connection is an authentic meeting of two immortal beings. Chris and Serena's story will motivate you to understand your own personal struggles. So, you can reunite with your eternal loved ones."-Anonymous


"Jade's honesty and sincerity reveal common and sometimes painful experiences that many people share. But through this process, we find hope. Her journeys across Europe and into the ancient world become an inner pilgrimage, as well as an outer journey of pivotal experiences. At times heart breaking but ultimately uplifting, Jade digs deep in this unflinching narrative."- Anna Marie M.


"Charismatic Connection compels the reader to look inward and reconsider what he or she believes is important in developing a meaningful relationship. The liberation of the soul, the self, allows for connections that outside forces often inhibit. Although, I haven't yet journeyed to the end of this insightful book, I look forward to my time each night in the world created by Serena Jade and to "remembering my internal core." Our connections are such an important part of our happiness. I recommend this book for anyone who seeks to find a deeper meaning in relationships." - Jakesfnm.


"Charismatic Connection is a jewel of a true soul mate connection. Beautifully written, it lifts the heart to a higher plane not of this earth. Set against the backdrop of the exciting horse racing industry, it is a winner! I  recommend this book for anyone who wants to find all the pieces to his or her life and connect with another from a deep place."-  James C.

The Soul Mate Prep Blog#91:Are you skeptical about Soul Mates?

Envision the beauty that would come from a true, pure, and authentic spiritual connection with another soul...

Three Soul Mates had a past life love of horses and fox hunting in Yorkshire, England, and Reincarnated in the south shore of Long Island, New York for their love of horses and racing ...

Charismatic Connection is inspired by the amazing true story of a champion jockey and an authentic soul mate - for years, jockey Chris Antley and Serena Jade lock eyes, psychically connect but are kept apart. Years later, their psychic gift predicts Chris Antley's win in the Kentucky Derby.

"I am excited; I have a shot, even if it is a long shot, to win the Kentucky Derby again. I call Ron, and I tell him to speak to Wayne and tell him we are riding Charismatic in the Kentucky Derby. I notice the first six letters of Charismatic rearranged could spell Chris A. I tell Ron a couple of days later I know who is going to win the Derby. 

Ron asks, “Who is it?”

 Chris Antley in his own words- Chris says, “I had a night vision: we won.”

Ron didn’t appreciate this intuitive wisdom, and says, “You shouldn’t tell anyone—they might think you’re crazy." Charismatic is such a long shot that Ron thinks it would take divine intervention for him to cross the wire first."-Excerpt from Charismatic Connection.

 

[Serena Jade] has not watched a Derby since 1995, and I don't have a conscious clue why I want to watch the Derby this year. I just feel I should view the race today...

Charismatic and Chris Antley winning the Kentucky Derby!

Does this fated event finally bring them together?

The Soul Mate Prep Blog#90: Will you see a loved one after they die?

Three Soul Mates had a past life love of horses and fox hunting in Yorkshire, England, and Reincarnated in the south shore of Long Island, New York for their love of horses and racing ...

Horse racing arrived in North America from England in the year 1665. The south shore of Long Island, New York is the home of New Market racecourse. Two centuries later Jerome Park comes into being through the efforts of two visionaries, stock market investor Leonard Jerome and August Belmont Sr. Mr. Belmont is a politician, financial wizard, and racehorse owner/breeder.

The Belmont Stakes was named after Mr. Belmont and was inaugurated at Jerome Park in 1867, in which year it was won by Ruthless. In 1889 the race was moved to Morris Park, a racetrack in the Bronx. August Belmont Jr., a Harvard graduate and suave businessman, wants to build the largest racetrack in the United States. Belmont Park in Elmont, just outside of New York City, came into being in 1905 to honor Mr. Belmont’s father, August Belmont Sr.

England started its own acclaimed races in 1809, the 2,000 Guineas Stakes, the Epsom Derby, and the St. Leger Stakes. The American races matched those of England’s. The term “Triple Crown” did not enter people’s minds until the early 1930s.

The Belmont Stakes is the oldest of the Triple Crown races. Called “The Test of Champions.” -Charismatic Connection

We are not going to encounter the same exact person but we will "see" the same essence. This is exactly what I experienced with Chris. The moment Chris and I were in the presence of each other, we were completely put in a trance by one another.

We crossed paths for years and each time we locked eyes, we were under a spell. However, this was a process of awakening, our personalities were very confused about our connection.

It was not until 1999 when unlikely longshot named Charismatic and his jockey Chris Antley (Yes, that Chris) made history winning the Kentucky Derby that my connection with him made sense.


Charismatic Connection is an amazing story, I wish more people understood how extraordinary it really is...

The Soul Mate Prep Blog#82: Do You Remember The Witches of East End?

Witches of East End was a television series and took place on the east end of Long Island, but was filmed elsewhere. The east end is supposed to be a portal to the other side. Ironically, my father and my dog are buried on the east end!

The show is centered on a particular family of witches. They talk about their past lives together. Last night, the mother witch tells the daughter, "you have loved the same man in different lifetimes." The mother then says, "you loved his soul in different incarnations as his body and personality were different in each lifetime." The daughter responds, "that's weird."

I am like "Duh!" -That is the true definition of a soul mate.

"Wow" is the word that describes the recognition of a soul one is connected with...

"I enter the Dunkin Donuts shop, and who is sitting at the counter eating a donut: Chris Antley. I walk in, and Chris jumps up and shouts to me, “Wow!” His immortal being is amazed, filled with wonder—the effect our souls have on one other is extraordinary.

Chris and I are discovering the piercing vibration of our eternal existence, and it makes us scream with delight. Recognizing a soul whom I have loved for eons is a spine-tingling, pleasurable experience. The act of becoming consciously aware of our spiritual nature is an authentic, “Wow.”-Excerpt from Charismatic Connection

Do you think you can recognize a soul you're connected with?

The Soul Mate Prep Blog#57: Do you know Soul Mates/Twin Flames are in the presence of a Holy Deity?

"To touch the soul of another human being is to walk on holy ground."-Stephen R. Covey

The author of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Mr. Covey, touched on the very essence of a soul mate/Twin Flame connection.

"When we become conscious of our soul's mates and or twin flame, we will be in the presence of a holy deity."-Serena Jade

"This extraordinary encounter makes me feel as if I have just arrived at a temple. I have been given access to the Divine. As I enter the room where the holy of holies resides, I can feel the spark of the Almighty deep within her. Her intense vibrant force makes me want to cry, and I am struck by the realization of how very close to her I am."-Excerpt from Charismatic Connection

The above paragraph is taken from my book, Charismatic Connection. I am putting into words what Chris Antley and I experienced. Chris was the high priest and only the high clergy has access to the holy of holies.

"Only our soul has access to the holy of holies of another."- Serena Jade -However, our lower nature must be in accord with the spiritual God or Goddess before us.

Are you ready to work on your lower nature (Personality)?

The Soul Mate Prep Blog#53: Does synchronicity and soul mates go hand in hand?

Synchronicity is defined as two or more events as meaningfully related. Synchronicity is a bridge between the conscious and unconscious, the known and the unknown.

In my story, Charismatic Connection synchronicity played a big part in understanding the bond between Chris and I.

Four events that stand out are:

A horse I took care of was going to race on this particular cold day in New York. I wasn't wearing warm enough gloves and my hands started to go numb. My boss had to take the horse from me and I never saw the jockey get on or off my horse. I remember this day like it was yesterday. It was a moment where I made a big decision to change my life. Chris and I were not supposed to encounter each other at that point. It was not until years later that I intuitively knew he was the jockey on my horse. For years, I tried to get the proof that he was the rider. Just a few years ago, I called up the Racing Form, retrieved this horse's past history and through the process of elimination Chris Antley was the jockey on my horse!

The second event happened five years later and I step into a beauty school and I tell the teacher I work with racehorses. The teacher asks," Do I know Chris Antley?" I was not in the horse racing world at that moment and it was out of context but definitely related.

The third event happened five years later, Chris Antley and horse racing were so far from my conscious mind but now I am thinking about him. I saw he was back riding in New York. I thought, "I must be psychic when it comes to him!"

The fourth event happened two years later as I didn't watch a Kentucky Derby in years. But, on May 1, 1999, I just felt like watching the Derby. I put the TV on and I see Chris Antley is riding a long-shot named Charismatic. I just knew he was going to win and they did!  That event would crystallize our connection!

Are you open to meaningful events that will link you to a deeper connection?

The Soul Mate Prep Blog#46: Are you ready to gallop into your own?

We just entered the Chinese year of the horse. Having spent my early years with the thoroughbred; I can say horses are gorgeous, exude power but at the same time are vulnerable. Horses have a sixth sense and can feel your calmness or fear...

Can you emulate the horse?

Can you take care of your body?

Can you own your power and be vulnerable at the same time?

Are you in touch with your sixth sense?

The Soul Mate Prep Blog#45: Did you know Soul Mates are not just a romantic partner?

I love Dr. Brian Weiss's (author of Many Lives, Many Masters) description of soul mates: Picture a tree it has a trunk for stability and the leaves on the same branch are our soul mates. The leaves on the same twig are the closest.

Our soul's mates can have the same but slightly different experiences. When we start to understand our eternal nature, the souls closest to us will awaken with us.

I connected with my father's passion for horse racing. Horses were a love between my father's soul and mine from another lifetime. My father was definitely a soul mate of mine. Which led me to reunite with Chris who was a very close soul mate. This is my book Charismatic Connection ,you might want to read it!

My father passed away 22 years-ago and when he was alive he would tell my mother, he has been here before. I didn't know this information until years after his death.

I hope to reunite with his soul before I die and obviously his soul will be in a different body and not my father's body. In the near future, I hope to reunite with the other souls that are closest to my soul too. The closest would be my deepest Most-Profound Eternal Love.

Do you think you can recognize your soul's mates?

The Soul Mate Prep Blog#37: Are you ready for intimacy?

Autonomy: Freedom from external influence or control.

Confidence: Is a firm belief in one's powers, abilities, knowingness or capacities.

The ability to be autonomous and to have confidence will transform one's life. The opposite of these two aspects are shame and doubt.

When there is shame and doubt one's thought process is clouded. Either we are under-confident or overly-confident; the powerful and powerless.

Shame must be made into a feeling again and not a system of belief, where one is not good enough. Bring shame out in the open and doubt will cease. When one can do this... we will be secure, committed, compassionate and ready for intimacy!

Are you ready to become your potential?

The Soul Mate Prep Blog#33: Do you want to hear a Fabulous Soul Mate/Twin Flame Song?

I can see it in your eyes
you're a spirit I recognize
feelings I can't explain
and I don't even know your name

Do we only live to die
or is it that our hearts are magnetized
and our worlds collide for a reason?

Been here many times before
with a different face from a different shore
both here to discover the other again

The above lyrics are from a new song by the British New Wave Band, Johnny Hates Jazz.Watch the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dvuv_KPFJk

I heard this song yesterday and I was "wowed" by it.I am considering it the official Soul Mate/Twin Flame song! The lyrics say it all, we have been here many times before, with a different face from a different shore.

My story Charismatic Connection, gives you a first hand experience about how Chris and I collided for a reason. We saw it in our eyes, two spirits identifying one another. We have a different face but have met many times before. Both of us were here to discover the other again, but this time becoming conscious of our immortal connection! 

Do you think we only live to die or are we here for a deeper reason?

The Soul Mate Prep Blog#31: If you saw your 20 year-old self walking down the street, what would you say?

If I saw my 20 year-old self walking down the street-first I would give her a big hug. Then I would tell her it is going to be a long difficult road ahead.I would tell her the sooner she understands her personal history, the faster her suffering will dissipate...

I would tell my 20 year-old self: When you were little you repeatedly experienced the shame of abandonment.Your dysfunctional family gave you an environment where they said non verbally,"you are not important, you are not of value."

At age 5, you were on the school's playground feeling all alone, very scared. We are going to fast forward a few years, and you were at a friend's house, you must have been 7 or 8 years- old. Your so-called friend and another child locked you inside a room.They were making fun of you, telling you over again, you are not of value.You were very scared and ran home, you knew you couldn't tell your mother, she would not validate your feelings.So, you ran into your bedroom where you felt safe.

You hated school for the number 1 reason you repeatedly felt left out.However, that was what you were experiencing at home and the result was magnified at school.

When you look back at your life, you will be amazed on how you have survived. In the animal world, when a pup is left all alone without their clan-they are overpowered and killed by a predator.Your whole life you have been overpowered by mean and cruel people.You were taught to be Nice even if people are not Nice to you-a victim statement. 

My twenty year -old self-stand up for yourself and know deeply you are important and have lots of value..know it, believe it!

Would you encourage your 20 year- old self to look at their personal history? 

If not, know that their past is recreated in the present!

The Soul Mate Prep Blog#29: Are you making a list for what you want in a soul mate?

Joseph Campbell said, "But I take you as my center, and you are my bliss, not the wealth that you bring me, not the social prestige, but you.That is following your bliss."

When we make a list about what we want from a soul mate, and when someone comes along and meets that criteria, we have found the One!

I have to ask you, who do you think is making the list?

Your answer is you, however, it is your ego that has a set standard NOT your soul!

If I had made a list years ago, before I crossed paths with Chris (my book Charismatic Connection you might want to read it), my ego's items would have been too small.The gift Chris gave me was a profound awakening of an eternal love.That gift is not measured in the material world.  I saw HIM first and his gorgeous looks, status and wealth were second!

"Throw away the list and connect with your soul.The ego is too limited or inflated for what your soul can bring you, both materially and non-material!"-Serena Jade

The Soul Mate Prep Blog#28: Do you think you are autonomous?

The dictionary defines autonomy as: freedom from external influence or control.

"To be autonomous is the ultimate state of being because one has an internal strength to guard their space."-Serena Jade

I was a classic co-dependent.I took on the pseudo-independent role but I didn't have freedom.I thought about others approval and feelings more than my own.In so doing, there was a lot of shame and doubt in my head.

To be autonomous is to be empowered; this means one owns their freedom.When an empowered person gets into a relationship with a significant other - THE COMMON DOMINATE AND SUBSERVIENT: DOES NOT APPLY!

Are you ready to own your freedom?

The Soul Mate Prep Blog#27: Would you sacrifice your survival, security, personal relationships for an invisible calling?

Joseph Campbell said, "A person who is gripped by a calling, by a dedication, by a belief, by a zeal will sacrifice their security, will sacrifice even their life, will sacrifice personal relationships, they will give themselves entirely to their purpose."

I am such a person who has heeded a call to honor my soul's purpose.I had to break away from my guilt-inducing narcissistic mother and follow my soul's voice. I left New York and came to the desert of California to establish myself as a role-model and as a writer of personal and spiritual wisdom.

I am dedicated to tell my story of my personal journey from understanding my own soul to recognizing a true eternal love. I am here to tell you my personality was not in a position to live a peaceful life with a profound love or with anyone else.

I am here to tell you what I discovered along my arduous journey towards self- realization.It is not easy following an invisible path because you are not following the laws of our society.It takes tremendous faith in yourself that you are following the right path for you.

Are you ready to heed such a call?

The Soul Mate Prep Blog#26: Are some parents too permissive?

I would like to quote John Sanford, a Jungian analyst...it does not help a child to have parents who are permissive toward all kinds of behavior.In a permissive atmosphere a child's capacity to develop their own monitoring system is blunted.The ego development will then be too weak to enable the child as an adult to cope.

My parents were anything but permissive.However, I don't condone the way my parents especially my mother parented me.However, I do know if they were permissive, my personality would not have the strength to handle the pain and to overcome the dysfunctional family system I was born in.

I was watching, The Piers Morgan Show the other night and Piers was interviewing, Pastor Rick Warren and his wife.In my opinion, the Warren's were permissive with their mentally ill son, who just recently committed suicide. Rick Warren and his wife knew their son purchased an illegal gun.

Do you think it is acceptable to witness your child (who is unstable) have a gun in their possession?

Piers Morgan I feel is a hypocrite, he has been going on and on about stricter gun laws.However, he did not challenge the Warren's on why they did not do anything knowing their mentally ill son had an illegal gun and could have killed others too.

Shouldn't we protect our loved ones from harm?

I know one cannot stop someone from hurting themselves or others but we can do everything possible to prevent such an occurrence.

Ultimately, it is the parents job to instill moral behavior in their child.That means, it is the parent's job not to be too permissive nor too strict but somewhere in between. Parents should have knowledge of their own psychological history, so we can create mentally whole healthy children.

When I was younger, I thought I was the mentally ill person in my family.After years of being an explorer of my own personal history, I discovered it was not me who was mentally ill but my mother and her father before her and so and so on...

Are you ready to take accountability for your child's mental health?

The Soul Mate Prep Blog#25: Do you know love is a name we give for the pursuit of wholeness?

In an ordinary enchantment, we are attracted to someone for two reasons...

1.We are sexually attracted to their appearance.

2.The other person has the missing personality traits we need to be whole.

When we get involved in this relationship it feels wonderful in the beginning.Plato understood this phenomenon and said 2500 years ago, "Love is just a name we give to the desire and pursuit of wholeness."

We feel elated and euphoric however, this sense of enlightenment does not last for long.

Why do you think this is?

The other person is temporarily making you feel whole.But this is a false sense of wholeness.After the initial phase both people start to create power struggles with the missing trait; projected onto the other person.

Instead of marrying this person, we can be in a relationship with them...I call this a potential growth relationship because we can transform into a whole person!

The Soul Mate Prep Blog#24: Where were you on September 11, 2002?

September 11, 2001, will be forever etched in my mind, as well as the whole United States. Growing up, I marveled at the Twin Towers and on a clear day you could see them from miles away.

The morning of 9/11, was one of those rare beautiful New York days.There wasn't a cloud in the sky and the temperature was going to be in the 80's...

What I witnessed, the following year on September 11, 2002, is just as profound.Collectively, everyone in New York and the country if not the world focused on the first anniversary.

The departed souls and everyone thinking about the same event created such an intense all-consuming wind that whipped through the entire tri-state area of New York.The strong gusts were extreme and everyone knew the souls who died on 9/11 were with us.

Do you think it is possible to change the world, if large numbers of people came together thinking the same thought?

The Soul Mate Prep Blog#23: Do you want Cinderella's fantasy?

What little girl doesn't want to be Cinderella?

We grow up in a world hearing this fairy tale.However, the real Cinderella is on house-arrest, taking care of her step-mother and two-step sisters.Her sisters are Good, Respected and have a life of their own.

In order to just survive, Cinderella has to create a fantasy...her step-mother and sisters are visible, good and respected.Cinderella is invisible, bad, worthless and disrespected.

In Cinderella's mind, her mother and sisters have to be good, otherwise she couldn't survive.This fantasy is like a mirage in the desert.Cinderella needs this fantasy, it is her life support.

Just like, if you were out in the blazing hot sun in the middle of the desert with no water to drink.The fantasy that an oasis is ahead keeps you alive but barely.Sooner or later, you are going to drop and die, if you don't get to an oasis.

Cinderella finds her oasis within...her shame comes out of hiding and thus is seen and respected. Now, she can meet her Prince and can live happily ever after!

This transformation has taken years to accomplish.She has extinguished her fantasy bond with her cruel mother and sisters and creates her real life dream...

Knowing Cinderella's fantasy: Do you want the fantasy or the real life dream?

The Soul Mate Prep Blog#22: Do you think children should be the love of your life?

Years ago, a friend of mine said to me, "People don't care about loving one's body, or being a friend to one's significant other." She said, "People want security above anything else."

My friend did get married to someone she had no connection with, other than to feel secure. Days after the wedding they slept in separate rooms, and came together just for sex.

I stopped talking to her and years later she befriended me on Facebook. We corresponded via e-mail and she told me she has two children, a boy and girl. She came from a broken home and was an only child. She grew up becoming best friends with her mother. She didn't have a relationship with her father and even became resentful of men.

As we were conversing back and forth, I got the feeling which I knew all along that she would recreate the same scenario with her life. She has a very close relationship with her daughter and the husband is there to provide for her security. She views her daughter as a gift from God and not her son. So, she has become best friends with the daughter and the husband and son are on the sidelines watching their close bond.

"Since it was my responsibility to take care of my mother. I know it is not healthy to think of children as a substitute for loving one's self or as a substitute for a great relationship."-Serena Jade

Children need their own life and the parents do too!  

Do you feel your children are the love of your life?
