I’d been talking for weeks in therapy about protecting my boundaries. Learning that protecting myself physically and emotionally was not being disrespectful or mean; it didn’t make me a bad daughter, but was simply self-care and demanding to be treated like the grown-up I had become, not the child they remembered.
It takes so much inner work to reach this state of mind. For those who are still working through it, I promise you it gets better once you make it this far. 💕
