I resonate a lot with your experiences. Rewiring that hyper vigilance as an adult can be a bitch. Cutting chords with narcissistic abusive parents and still finding forgiveness, for me it comes in stages and has often spiraled back to the beginning again. I commend your strength and courage, I know how hard that road is and yours seems much more difficult than mine was even. At 43 I’m still in a healing process around some of the things that happened. Thank you for sharing 💜
Kaya U will get there, I know that to be a fact even without knowing U (the human), I'm sorry that U had to go thru those things, but I love that U have never given up on U- it's that love for yourself (even when U don't realize it's there) that gives U that strength/resilience, That Fire 🔥🔥 in Your Belly that gets U up each day still fighting for U!! I See U Beautiful 🥰🥰💜💜☯️☯️🧿🧿
What an inspiration you are, and gorgeous inside and out. Congratulations on getting out and building a beautiful life and thank you for sharing your story.
You’re a beautiful lady Reina. I’m so sorry you experienced a very challenging childhood. My husband and I are both estranged from several family members because of bullying etc. We would love to have a relationship with them, but every time we think our connection is improving we discover the same old behavior patterns from the same family members. So we have chosen to completely stay away to protect our own mental health and hearts. Certainly nothing like you have been through. No child should have to go through that type of abuse. My heart goes out to you in friendship and love.
My faith teaches me that we don’t necessarily have to forgive those who we don’t want to forgive. God from the Bible makes it clear that he does not forgive unless that person genuinely asks and seeks for forgiveness. That may or may not apply to you depending on what you believe. Forgiveness is a two party contract.
Sending you much love and uplifting energy. Hold on to what’s beautiful and stay that way inside and out. 🤗✨💜✨🙏
Wow, Thank U Beautiful, I Appreciate your perspective very much. For me forgiveness is not for the offender, it's for being able to pack that suitcase & launch it off a cliff somewhere, then wash your hands to ensure U aren't even carrying around any of the residual energy. I don't forget any of the actions, & forgiveness doesn't mean engagement with that being ever again (depending on the degree of the action), but carrying around the energy of anger/pain/guilt/shame is not healthy, so I do forgive but I remember every detail without any emotional attachment to it. Mad Move & Respect to U Beautiful🥰🥰💜💜☯️☯️🧿🧿
I completely understand and since forgiveness soothes your soul then you deserve it and you need to treat yourself well through your forgiveness. I have not forgiven my ex-husband for his abuse only because he has not seeked forgiveness and continues his abuse through posts on Social Media. But for me I don’t carry any of the baggage by reserving my forgiveness. I am at peace either way within my own self. But my arms are open and ready for the time when his heart is ready to reconnect with mine so we can both mend those times. So I am in a waiting position because I know someday and maybe not in this realm we live in, but the next one we will have that chance and understanding to all forgive one another. At the time all of our hearts will unite. 🫶
I ask God a lot why many people are brought into life faced with abuse, and the trauma caused from it.
Perhaps the reason why the source of this universe, the designer gave you this experience is so you have true empathy for those who have experienced or will experience it in the future.
Blessings to you as you continue to move forward with much bravery and a special kind of heart. 💜💫💜 You are the special chosen one. To be an angel of light for those in stress. 🙏✨💜🤗😇
You’re beautiful! I’m so glad you found your peace and came to terms with all the lies that tried to keep you bound up. Much love and respect to you!! 🤗🤗
Thank U so much for Everything U Are🥰🥰 U were my inspiration for this piece, during reading your story, I took a trip thru the years & realized just how long it took me to get thru mine & it just flowed out as soon as I could sit down long enough to get it out lol. Mad Love, Respect, & Blessings to U also🥰🥰💜💜☯️☯️🧿🧿
I have a complicated relationship with my father. I thought that, after my mom died, I would be able to easily walk away from him. Like you described, it is complicated. There is grief involved with letting people go - even when those people are forces of destruction. There is grief involved with letting the past go, as well.
Yes there is & U are the only 1 who can decide when & how U are ready for it💜💜 Thank U Beautiful for reading & for the serious compliment- I Appreciate U🥰🥰💜💜☯️☯️🧿🧿
Thank U Rebecca, I Appreciate U🥰🥰💜💜☯️☯️🧿🧿
