Barb Baltrinic > Quotes

“She was certain I would make the same mistakes she did and I believe she waited with great expectations that I fail. When I did not, she openly showered me with negative commentary that I “thought I was better than her.” At some point in my adult life I realized she was jealous of who I was becoming, feeling she had been robbed of that opportunity for herself. She never allowed herself to truly feel pride in what I was able to achieve, or encourage me to reach for the stars she was unable to touch. I am thankful that I developed a resilient personality and did not repeat the mistakes she had made, or worse.”
