I park a lot of what would make me whole for the sake of my kids, but there is absolutely a limit to what I will accept. It's measured by the conditions that the littles experience.
If they aren't witnessing a healthy relationship, then continuing on this path is generationally harmful—and my background makes me very attuned to these things. #RandomThoughts
People would be shocked if they knew what I have sacrificed to make my situation work.
Well, most would.
@kel I feel that way as well sometimes. Then that feeling when you look at your kids and it hits you, damn those amazing humans are a part of me. They see me in a way I couldn’t see myself until I saw it reflected in their eyes. And when that hits it makes me realize there is nothing I wouldn’t go though to have the privilege of watching them grow and become who they are.
@kel soo very true.
@Olivecatto There's always that, and then there's knowing that today defines tomorrow.
Whatever passes as normal in my life will be the measure of what they accept in theirs.
#parenting is no joke.
