Tell me about the monsters hidden under your bed
in the most unexpected way π±
Today I started my new journey of sobriety in a way that is not always going to be easy..
I am thankful for my growth as it was not easy for me to make this decision, I did it regardless..
I did it for me, I also did it for my children who deserve a healthy and happy mother..
βNot every parent is equipped with the calmness and presence of mind to react so pleasantly. Myself included. We have our own personal traumatic experiences to cope with, and unfortunately we need to reprogram them before passing them on to our own children. We will not always succeed. Breaking that cycle is a very difficult task. Life is real people. I'd love to be able to say that I didn't yell at my kids, but I was abused so badly as a child that my emotions are more powerful than my logic. If this is you, take it from me and please keep working to break that cycle. Our family's future and the world around it depends on it.β
Read this somewhere & I couldnβt relate more to this.
Oh what an unlovable thing I've become.

βIt is not the bruises on the body that hurt.
It is the wounds of the heart and the scars on the mind.β
