Quotes by Kathleen McCleary (?)

“Don't confuse guilt and shame." she said. "It's okay to feel badly about something yo've done. But don't let it make you feel badly about who you are." - Betty, A Simple Thing”

“I'll tell you, it's only when I learned to accept that I was a lot like my mother the tI began to be happier. I suspect you'll find that to be true yourself. Our mothers are the most influential in making us who we are. As long as you regard your mother with distaste, it's not possible to view yourself charitably, with the kindness and seft-acceptance so essential to personal happiness." - Barefoot”
