“It wasn’t until my husband was gone that I started to really look at my past through a new lens. As a freshly widowed mom of two, I expected grief and exhaustion. I didn’t expect the old family patterns to come back like ghosts I thought I’d buried.
I remember sitting on the floor in my bedroom one night, on speakerphone with my bestie. I was trauma-dumping through tears, the grief of my husband’s death still fresh, and I heard myself say something I truly believed at the time:
“I had such a good childhood. I don’t understand how I ended up in a relationship like that.” That sentence didn’t age well.”
Today’s chapter is more about getting rid of the patterns that keep you stuck in painful relationships and how to start shifting out of it. As always, pass this along to anyone who might get something out of it, and thank you for being here on this journey with me!
Til next time, Love you mean it-
