I read this quote that said, “I can’t ever forgive someone who watched me raise their kids & decided to make life harder for me…” and whew. 💔 Because imagine watching the mother of your kids already carrying the sleepless nights, appointments, meals, bills, tantrums and everything else that comes with motherhood… and instead of making life easier for her, you become another thing she has to heal from. That hit me because I remember pouring everything I had into my babies while quietly wondering who was going to pour anything back into me. I wasn’t asking to be saved. I just wanted to feel like I wasn’t raising a family by myself. I’ve healed from a lot since then, but I’ll never forget what it felt like to need support from the person I created a family with and realize I had to heal from them too.
