It's okay...

“It’s okay to let go of those who couldn’t love you. Those who didn’t know how to. Those who failed to even try. It’s okay to outgrow them, because that means you filled the empty space in you with self-love instead. You’re outgrowing them because you’re growing into you. And that’s more than okay, that’s something to celebrate.” --Angelica Moone

I have to say....when my therapist many years ago told me that 'sometimes they just don't have it to give'...it changed my blaming myself considerably. I realized then that my mother was never going to be able to give what she doesn't have. No amount of hoping, and wishing and trying to be the perfect child was going to change that.

Up until her death from cancer 27 years or so ago I kept trying to figure out what to do and who to be to make her even LIKE me.

Ì empathize with you... I tried up to my 50's... then finally got it....the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

That's me!

It was very liberating to walk away from that toxic atmosphere.... that was over 16 years ago...I never looked back.
