Lead me

I have never been so scared about being a mom until tonight. One of my kids came to me to tell me they were struggling with something which happens to be very similar to some things I have been struggling with. I have no idea what to do about my struggles. How am I suppose to be able to help them with theirs! It's scary when I don't know what to say to them. Their lives are in my hands. The things I say or do, or the things I let them witness will help mold the people they become. That is some scary stuff! Who am I to show them who to be. I'm not perfect. I have my own issues to sort out. I'm still not the person I want to be. What if I say something wrong. What if I do something wrong. I do not want them to be sitting where I am right now in my life, looking back and noticing all the ways their mom "screwed them up". I want to show them how to be good people and how to love people. I want to show them the things I wasn't shown by my mom. I don't want them looking back and "blaming" me for bad things in their lives. I hate that I can not protect them from everything. But I hate not knowing what to say sometimes even more. Some serious things have been coming up lately where I should know what to say to them to make them feel better or to help them. And I go blank. Nothing is scarier than to see my kids hurting and not be able to do anything (or not know what to do). I am lost right now. I get one shot at this and I don't want to mess that up.
