So relating to a lot of this! My parents didn’t divorce, but there were many other life circumstances that caused me to think I had to be perfect. I definitely believed that if I hadn’t been “bad” I wouldn’t have been molested.
I’ve made a lot of progress with this, but lately I’m struggling. My father died on February 1st and I find myself stuck on what I didn’t do or say when he was alive, or ways that I upset or disappointed him. Thank goodness for SheRecovers, for therapy, and for Janine’s upcoming retreat.
Sending love, Sophie. It's amazing how many beliefs we hold as truths that make us feel bad about ourselves. When in reality, none of them are true. None. Of. Them. 💜
