@drdenizpsyd: Becoming a parent doesn’t just teach you compassion. It reveals the truth—about what you needed, and what was never safe to say. You look at your child and suddenly see your younger self. And it hits you: They had the power. And they chose silence. This is the grief so many cycle breakers carry— Not just what happened, but what your parent refused to face for you. You’re allowed to hold both: Empathy and heartbreak. Compassion and the refusal to repeat the pain. ✨ If you’re breaking the cycle, comment “cycle breaker” so others know they’re not alone. #motherwound #cyclebreaker #generationaltrauma #innerchildhealing #childhoodtrauma #traumarecovery #emotionalneglect #narcissisticmother #gentleparenting #cptsdhealing #tiktoktherapy #innerchildwork #dysfunctionalfamily #motherwound #emotionalabuse #cptsdawareness #dysfunctionalfamily
my parents used to say "just wait until you have kids".. I have 2 now. I still don't understand how my parents acted

My main goal in life is being the mother I never had, the parent that loves and protects unconditionally and the safe space I never had. I choose my kids every single day because they didn't ask to be here, I prayed for them to be here.

I will never forgive my father for what he did, never. Especially as a mom of a little girl that is the same age as all the shit started, she is tiny, I was tiny. I will never forgive him, never.

As a daughter I don’t forgive either cause it’s gave me trauma and mental issues which triggers me being a mother

I will never understand a man hitting my child so hard it makes her nose bleed into her food then forcing her to eat it at the age of 8, no matter what he experienced growing up when you become an adult you know that’s wrong (and yet my step father did that to me) I make no justifications for him now I’m a mother

it did have to actually be exactly the way it was..... the level of conciousness was not able to get to where it now is without the process of evolution.... its not that they were unwilling to face it, its that they didn't have the capacity to do anything more than they did in their time. we were only able to get to this point, because of everything we went through. It doesn't help coming at it with any victimhood mentality at all

my life growing up revolved around my dad. I believed everything he said even when it put distance between my mom and me. 7 years of silence from him and I still resented my mom. it wasnt until after high-school when I learned the truth of my father's lies and deception.. my mom and I are closer than ever now and sadly still not much from my dad outside of holidays. I've forgiven him as my dad to move on from that time. but as a parent myself now... I can't understand why he never owned up to his mistakes..

Jess the Mess :
My fiancé has been struggling with this since we had our son. There’s so many times he said “how could she do that to us” and he’s a dad! He’s to the point he’s angry now. Angry at everything she put him through knowing he would never put our son through it.

So true. I struggled with the empathy and grief push pull for years but finally had to let her go after finally telling her I wouldn’t stand to be treated like that anymore and I got “if that’s how you feel, have a nice life”. So we’ve now been no contact since December and I truly don’t miss her.

Muslimah Healing From Narc :
I love love love this message, it hits right at home. Truly as a daughter I can forgive but as a mother, I really can't. I have 2 daughters 1 son and I hug n kiss them everyday, show them how much I love them, I learn to reparent n be a better parent everyday cos it's my choice. I make that choice but I don't understand why she can make that choice with my other siblings but not me. It's all right until she keeps on treating me the same until now. 😔

Sadly, for many young adults, everything has become a trauma or abuse & they are going No Contact with parents that weren't abusibe. No Contact has become a trend encouraged by influencers and therapists in individual therapy who are unable to see the other side of the story. It's a lose-lose strategy. Nobody heals 💔😢

Kind of similar. My mom had me at 16 and she wasn’t ready to be a mom so my grandparents raised me. I didn’t see her much. Fast forward. I was a teen mom.. I raised my child and I succeeded.. why couldn’t she do it for me?

Yup. I cannot get why she left me at 11yrs old. Then she reappeared 5 yrs later and I cannot get over it. I see my kids and I cannot do it.

Nicola Batt :
My mum chose to leave. No abuse, no mistreatment from my dad. She just didn’t want to be a mum to three babies. And I forgive her because of who she is as a person and her upbringing. But I could never leave my babies. I had a hard time after I had kids keeping that relationship. But that was her choice and her loss.
