This really speaks to so much of the inner healing work I’ve done myself, inner child work, gratitude, forgiveness, and learning to look back with adult eyes at what the child in us couldn’t possibly understand at the time. I recently wrote about something from my own childhood involving my little sister, where I completely misunderstood what I had witnessed and carried a belief that was never true. As a child, I didn’t know what to do with that pain, and some of it came out toward her. It took us years of healing, but today she is one of my best friends. So your reflection on looking beyond the wound really landed for me. Not to erase what hurt, but to understand it differently, soften around it, and choose what is worth keeping. Beautiful reflection. ❤️
Thank you, Andrea. For reading and sharing your experience with us. And I’m glad you worked it out with your sister. Family is sacred and I love the idea when Siblings are close to one another. I’m also glad to know how you did the healing process of the inner child, I should explore your work more. In the present stage of our life, we always think we see and understand everything, and I realized that taking time to review them may soften the way we carry them.
Thank you, Seb. For reading, commenting and sharing. I greatly appreciate your support. And I like the way you put it, it resume the whole dynamic in the relation with children.
I keep wanting to tell someone about the coffee. You quit it thinking it was making you angry, and only later found out the anger had a much older address and coffee was just taking the blame for the tenant... Your words in this piece of yours are careful in a way I respect, you don't let understanding her collapse into owing her anything, you keep those two things in separate hands the whole way. Gratitude that doesn't erase the ledger. I don't share the forgiveness easily myself but I believe yours cuz... you made it cost something first.
We always seek understanding and sometimes we deflect, the mind need a reason so we give it one, even if it is not the good one. For me it was not about forgiveness but understanding, forgiveness is just like a side effect 😊

This was a touching reflection and you captured the understanding and damage that can happen to the child very well.

I'm grateful to my mother for never leaving us, for always taking care of us, for protecting us as best as she could.
Thank you, Sattie 😊
She is an amazing woman. And when I see how you support and care for others in here, you must have inherit a lot from her.
I am told that I am like her in many ways.
That’s a good thing, I think 🫶🏼😊
