A letter to my younger self:
I forgive myself for the time I spent in survival mode.
I forgive myself for the times I used other people, alcohol, and other destructive behaviors to avoid the pain I felt within.
I forgive myself because I learned that closeness meant chaos and dysfunction, and I re-enacted that dysfunction over and over again.
I forgive myself because I witnessed adults who couldn't self regulate, so I dissociated to not feel and not connect to other people.
I forgive myself because I was left alone to deal with my emotions, so I became fixed on not being abandoned b other people. In the process, I abandoned myself.
I forgive myself because I learned my role was to be easy and to be liked, so I betrayed my own values to gain that approval.
I forgive myself because I allowed my mother wound to impact every relationship I ever had, then avoided responsibility and blamed other people who issues they didn't create.
I forgive myself for my past and know that through taking responsibility for my life, I give the younger version of myself a new future.
I am so proud of me for how far I've come.
