‼️PARENTS‼️ Do not beg anyone from either side of your child's family to be apart of their life. They know your child exists. If they want to associate themselves with your child they will. If not, they won't. Wash your hands with it and LET! IT! BE!
You won't always be a priority to others, and that's why you have to be a priority to yourself. Learn to respect yourself, take care of yourself, and become your support system. Your needs matter. Start meeting them. Don't wait for others to choose you. Choose yourself today.
well it turns out that you thought you were mad at them for not being available for you when you needed but you were ultimately more mad at yourself for always being available for them because you have no boundaries and consistently put other people’s well-being over your own.
