Things that can be true at the same time…

  • Your parents did the best they could, AND their choices wounded you.
  • You love someone AND you know it’s not healthy to keep them in your life.
  • You’re terrified to take the next step AND you know it’s the right thing to do. 
  • You want to have healthy relationships AND unresolved trauma is making it difficult.
  • You’re afraid to fail AND you believe in yourself.

Looking back on my childhood, what bothered me, and still bothers me, is that my parents did nothing to change their crappy, damaging dynamic. My aunt and uncle put the whole family in therapy, and it served them well. I was super impressed. I just don’t understand the Groundhog Day of doing the same thing over and over again and living in hell. Which is why I go to therapy, attend weekend relationship workshops, read great books, and remain accountable for myself and my actions. I want to be part of the solution, not part of the problem. Just sayin’ :) Hugs and good luck. XO

Blessings,
