"I’ve come to a place where I’m no longer willing to bend until I break just to meet the needs of others."
Really happy for you to get there! And thank you for gifting us with your story. To be fair, none of us are ever really fully healed.
This reminds me of the series I just finished watching on Hulu, "Unprisoned" with Kerry Washington. She's navigating her relationship with her father after he's released from 17 yrs in federal prison. It's funny and lighthearted in parts, but so much of it is about her being a mother while also trying to heal herself. She's cutoff from her mother but trying to rebuild things with her father. (And she's a therapist at that - same license I have.😅) It's worth a watch!
This also makes me think of the book, It Didn't Start With You, about family trauma. It gets passed down on a genetic level so healing is no small feat! Be gentle with yourself. ❤️
