Käthe Kollwitz mother with childKäthe Kollwitz, "Mother with child"
The "Good Enough" mother is the one... 

...who doesn't need to be perfect, who doesn't judge others for not being perfect and who teaches her child the beauty not being perfect and of being different among people. And therefore she takes a lot of (perfectionism) stress off her child's shoulder. 

...who accepts the love that her child feels for her, but who also equally accepts all the other feelings that may come from the child, even anger or rejection. 

...who admits that she has feelings of unconditional love for her child, but also acknowledges that there will be moments in everyday life when she will be experiencing more negative and overwhelming feelings.  She is well aware that these uncomfortable, conflicting feelings cannot erase or even diminish her loving side.

    HOME IS WHERE YOUR HEART IS.

    Leaving your city or your country is indeed painful. Even for those that see opportunities within this new challenge. Making new friends, when you still miss your old ones. Building a new home, when you still have plenty of memories from your old one. Making a new family, when your own family is thousands of miles away. Feeling like home, when you have tried so many times to do so. Yes, we know how you feel.
