Thank you so much for your comments. I admire your ability to accept a lesser relationship than the one you would like to have. I believe that breaking the cycle of generational trauma takes courage and that we have to heal forward and backwards. The work I have done to admit and own my failures as a mother has not healed my relationship with my daughter, but it has healed my relationship with myself, and I believe, has healed the wounds of the past in all the mothers and daughters in my lineage. There is power in having the courage to see clearly and extend compassion to those who wounded us as well as to ourselves who have wounded others. It is all important work.

May you continue to heal and find a sense of strength as a mother and as a daughter. I wish you well. ♥
