Having someone genuinely happy to see you is an underrated blessing.

People don't get the what it means to be a kid in survival mode. While some are building social skills, these kids are building defenses. As adults, some are building families, while child survivors are building what they never had to begin with. Peace to all who know this pain.

@lovewins11011 Overcoming cognitive dissonance is KEY so keep a running list of everything they’ve done to hurt you and read it when you “miss” them or feel tempted to reconcile, this keeps you grounded in reality and out of idealization!

Community provides support, vulnerability cultivates authentic connection and accountability keeps us on track. Together, they create a meaningful path to sobriety and lasting change.

@WhosMental “it wasn’t your fault.”

[Jade S @wellwithher]

When we struggle with a fear of failure we often do not give ourselves the opportunity to get good at anything.

@anas__kham Boundaries only work when you value the thing their meant to protect. If you don’t really value yourself, you won’t be able to maintain boundaries that protect you. Practice developing your self-worth and boundaries will naturally follow.

@yenniferamanda As a recovering perfectionist I live by this

[Jade S @wellwithher]

A key indicator of a toxic relationship is one that attempts to replace emotional intimacy with sex.

Where trust, communication, empathy, safety, accountability and compassion all hinge on a tumultuous sexual connection.

@juliethardt Self pity.

@AwareOfTheNarc Daily journaling my inner thoughts, fears and memories of the abuse. Prayer and reading the Bible.

@RubiksLive Confidence can be fleeting, but discipline means showing up no matter how we feel.
