I used to roll my eyes when my mom would tell me “people act a certain way because their jealous of you”. But as I got older I started to understand exactly what she meant.
I thought it would be a beautiful moment when I felt my baby move for the first time but honestly it’s a weird scary feeling that I have an alien living inside me rent free?!
Yes toxic relationships are hard but do you know what else is hard? Your first healthy relationship after a toxic one. No one talks about how hard it is to unlearn all the toxic behaviors you adapted as coping mechanisms. How hard it is to convince yourself that you’re safe now.
