To the mother who never experienced a typical childhood, I see you. I recognize the daily struggles you face as you navigate parenthood, constantly reminded of the mistreatment and neglect you endured from those who were supposed to care for you. Your heart aches for all the moments you lost, for the childhood that was stolen from you.
You need to understand this: You did not deserve the abuse, neglect, or mistreatment that was inflicted upon you. None of it was warranted. Your caregivers were responsible for your safety, love, and allowing you to enjoy being a child. They let you down.
But you did not fail. None of this is your fault. You must internalize this truth. Look at you now—each day, you are actively choosing to break the cycle of abuse. Every time you prioritize a loving environment for your children, you are changing the narrative.
Every time you tell your little ones that you love them, ensuring they don’t go to bed questioning their worth, you are breaking the cycle. When your child feels comfortable coming to you with their mistakes instead of fearing your reaction, you are reshaping the future. Every moment spent together—at sports events, during activities, or simply cuddling on the couch—reinforces the love and connection that you cherish. Each time you apologize for your errors as a parent, showing your child that they aren’t responsible for your emotions, you are further breaking the cycle. By establishing boundaries and protecting them from those who do not respect them, you are making a profound difference. Seeking help for yourself so you can be the best version of you is yet another way you are redefining the narrative.
Your efforts do not go unnoticed, and I recognize how challenging this journey is for you. You are weary, and self-doubt creeps in. You fight each day against the negative messages from your past that threaten to resurface. Stay strong. Continue to move forward, crafting a life for your children that you never experienced.
Take a moment to reflect on all the ways your children will be spared from the pain you endured. Take pride in the parent you have chosen to become. Your children are fortunate to have you as their mother. Remember that. Love yourself with the same intensity that you love your children. You deserve it—you are worthy of love and kindness, especially from yourself.
