The Beauty of Simple Living
Caveat: This is a very touchy subject, and one that I have read countless articles, forums, and discussions on: "Toxic Parenting and Child Estrangement". I have researched and have considered many points of view. I realize there are exceptions, such as drug addiction, parental alienation, and/or a physically abusive child. This post does not include those types of cases, and I am not judging any parent who is estranged from their child for reasons such as those stated above.
Anyone following my blog knows we (mostly me), had been plagued by "buyer's remorse" with our last home purchase. At the time, I had wanted to purchase a smaller, less expensive home, and my husband wanted to purchase a larger/more expensive home. I wanted him to be happy, so I went along with it. However, from day one, I just could not shake the "buyer's remorse". Knowing how much money we could be saving every month, especially with the current low mortgage interest rates, just filled my frugal heart with regret. The remorse literally kept me up at night! I just could not enjoy the house when it was causing me so much stress!
