Sometimes people can't reciprocate because they can't give you what they can't give themselves. Those who are at war with themselves can't give you peace. Those who betray themselves can't give you loyalty. Those who lie to themselves can't give you honesty. See them as they are.
Culture romanticizes the "selfless" mother. The idea that a good mother betrays herself. Puts everyone else first & her needs don't matter at all.
Meanwhile mothers are angry, exhausted, and silently suffering under the expectation to do it all.
This isn't surprising. Mothers have needs and were never meant to do it alone.
This is Vinicunca, the rainbow mountain in Peru
The mountain's unique mineralogy creates a marbling effect which was seen for the first time around 2012,
before this it was almost entirely covered in permafrost and snowdrifts

Healing isn’t always an AHA! moment.
It 𝗜𝗦 consistent showing up for our younger self who needs our reparenting, and,
for our future self, who wants to live most authentically, with less suffering.
@AskTheYoungOne@Theholisticpsyc I’m exactly there. Fighting now to end being with a narcissist and seeing all the facts the universe is showing me now that I am open and listening.
@Theholisticpsyc I recently learned my partner of 28 years has been stealing from me for our entire relationship. I’ve decided it’s over. I’m questioning a lot of things right now.
