I don’t know of anyone who wasn’t hurt emotionally in their childhood.
In a way, it still constricts a lot of us.
However, sometimes being an adult means being a parent to your childhood self, and working towards healing it.
It also means forgiving your parents. For they didn’t know better.
I know it is hard to forgive them for all the troubles you have landed yourself into, over the years.
However, not forgiving them is still giving yourself that permission to blame them.
Forgiving your parents heals them later.
It starts with you.
The only person you must never stop attending to.
Reminds me of the JK Rowling quote – There is an expiry date on blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction.
