This feels so personal and SO relatable. I feel it 100%. It's a beautiful way to re-frame a lot of years of longing and wanting. It's freedom. Thank you.
Have mercy. I resonate with this so much more than I could ever convey in this comment box. I had not considered it this way--I will die knowing the love I crave and craved, not because I experienced it, but because I have fought like hell to learn to offer it to my children.
Going to go weep, now. Thank you for being a gift!
Thank you for sharing this. I used to feel like I had succeeded in spite of my mom, too. Years ago, I heard Tony Robbins say something that really shifted my perspective. He said something like, “If you’re going to blame your parents for all the bad, then you also have to blame them for all the good - because every part of who they are contributed to who you are today.” That’s always stuck with me and over time, it allowed me to reconnect with and soulfully forgive my mom, and myself, for so much of our past. It reminded me that our mothers shape us in complex ways, and sometimes the hardest parts lead to strength. ♥️
Reading this post, immediately makes me conscious of how I am actively showing up as a mother to my daughters. Your reflection is a reminder of how beneficial it is to be intentional along this journey of motherhood. Thank you 🙏🏾
Myleik...I can't even begin to explain how deeply this resonated with me and gave language to very complicated feelings. My mother has been mostly absent from my life since she left my family when I was 8. Desiring her warmth has fueled the love I give to my children so that they never grow cold as I did in many ways. Thankfully through therapy, prayer and fasting I've healed and can give them the love and warmth they need. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS!!! Also, I will be sharing this at my church's mother's day brunch on Saturday. This is beautiful!
Thank you Myleik. For sharing your journey. Your way with words is a delight and a gift. May God continue to bless you richly!!!!
Thank you so much, Shunta! ♥️
