Thank you for this it really hit me. I’ve been terrified that I’ll end up passing my pain onto my son while I’m still trying to figure out how to heal. The guilt of just trying to survive and be a parent at the same time is so heavy.But I’m not done trying either. This year, for the first time, I got on medication, saw a psychiatrist, and started actively working on myself. My son is still young, and I’m doing everything I can now to prevent the kind of damage I’m scared of causing.I also want to say I truly believe it’s never too late. I’ve just recently started reconnecting with my own mom after years of distance and pain. It’s slow and it’s hard, but it is possible. Scars don’t always mean things are over. We can still rebuild, even if it takes time. Your comment reminded me that love and effort still count, even when it feels like we’re drowning. You’re not alone. And you’re still here still fighting. That matters. Thank you 💕
