I love that you’re on a journey and healing. For you for your son. Motherhood broke my world apart. And I had to reform it. It’s exhausting and no one but other mothers have any idea at all. Find support of other mother. I can assure you none of them are really coping as well as they might make out. And yes done have more family support and honestly I think that might be the only thing that truly helps. But friends work. At least to share that burden and exhaustion and disorientation and. All the stuff it brings up about your own childhood. And how hard it all is.
Thank you, Moyra. Yes, it feels like everything has to be broken apart and rebuilt from the ground up. I’m learning, just as you say, that leaning on other mothers is the only way through.
It's maddening, isolating, frustrating all at once. But it has forced me on a journey of understanding their childhood patterns and starting to "forgive" them. But I hear you and am with you.
Oh hon.. sending lots of hugs to that child and now the mother.
Motherhood rips you apart and then you stitch your self back together stronger and yet more fragile .. the amazing contradiction of life!
Couldn't have said it better myself <3

“They have their own version of my childhood. It’s neat. Selective. Convenient. So once again, I carry the truth alone.”
I completely relate. It’s so maddening.
