Your kids will figure you out one day.
They’ll see past the bedtime stories and the birthday parties.
They’ll grow up and start connecting the dots.
They’ll notice how you spoke to your partner…
How you handled stress…
How you treated people when no one was watching.
They’ll remember how safe they felt, or how often they didn’t.
How you showed up, or how often you didn’t.
And one day, they’ll decide…
“That’s the kind of parent I want to be…”
or
“That’s everything I’ll never do to my kids.”
You don’t get to control how they remember everything.
But you do get to choose who you are right now.
And whether they admire you, resent you, or heal from you…
That choice starts with you.
