The only (sustainable) way out of pain from trauma is pushing right through the middle of it. The anticipation and fear of how bad the pain can feel, keeps people stuck. Doing anything to avoid facing it. Stuck, and unable to "let people in". Being vulnerable is scary. When you are completely open and vulnerable you give someone a choice, one of which is to choose you. That also means the other choice in not to choose you. By not jumping in head first, being radically honest about who you are and what you need, you take away that person's ability to participate in a satisfying, functional relationship with you, and their ability to actually choose you. They never really know who you are until you open up that door.
Something else to keep in mind-- parents unresolved trauma, and unprocessed emotions (including trauma from something like a car accident) affect our children in many ways most of us don't even realize. Please process your trauma, and let your kids be kids. Don't let them carry a burden they will never completely understand.
I'm always here if you want to start unpacking that heavy baggage. Your arms are tired. Let me help you hold it for a few so you can organize it a bit. ❤️

I call it 'finding peace'.

Everyone deserves love. It can be difficult to not let your trauma tell you that you don't. It's easier to find love for yourself when you have the support of a loving person (or people) not just reminding you of your value, but also showing you.

How do people actually believe this is a thing??
