Working through the practice of relearning your needs doesn’t mean you had bad parents, or that your parents didn’t love you. It just means that your parents were, as all humans are, imperfect; their care for you was influenced by their own limitations, beliefs, and past experiences. They may have done the very best they could with what they had at the time – and it’s not an insult to them when you take action to give yourself the care and love you’ve always needed.
