And no doubt about it, that’s just what I did. I made a promise to myself that I would be NOTHING like my parents once I had children.
:
Those that are Blessed enough to meet my daughter have nothing but great things to say about her. We go through normal “mother & daughter” drama, but within minutes, it’s over. My mother met her when she was 14, and said she was “ surprised “ that I had a daughter that was so well mannered. The nerve of her right? I had to inform her the reason was because our parenting style was different.
:
My dad has yet to meet her... she’ll be 20 soon. Now that I think of it, I think it’s best that he is never given the opportunity. Those that know me personally understand why. Soon I will share with you too.
:
Narcissistic parents are the worst and can really damage a person. Thankful that I kept my promise and broke that vicious cycle.

Embarking on a new journey can perpetuate the great “what if...” ruminating question. Many answers that first consciously surface are answers that come from other people. Possibly the voice of a critical parent, a bully from 1st grade, the voice of trauma, or the influence of society and culture.

SET THE SHAME DOWN.

PICK UP COMPASSION.
•
What if you are in fact becoming more you? What if the journey is there to be a teacher? What if you thrive? What if everything ends up wonderful? ...Simple shifts can lead to monumental change. You deserve compassion. Heck everyone does, in my mind it’s a basic human right. •
