So, I can totally relate to what you are saying. While in my grade school years, I received a lot of attention/affirmation from my peers, I did not receive that from my Mother. On the contrary, she would often compare me to others my age and point out my inadequacies. That has affected my confidence to this day! However, because I was so aware of the devastating effects of this type of parenting, it made me ultra determined to not repeat the pattern. My 3 amazing kids, now 34, 29 and 27 grew up believing that they were exceptional, valued, attractive, wonderful people who were capable of achieving anything they set their minds to! And, I’m thrilled to report that each one has done so! While I would never steal their thunder by recognizing my part in their success, I do credit my Mother for having taught me who I did not want to be as a parent. That sounds harsh but it is actually how I have come to a point of forgiveness and peace with that relationship.
That's great! As far as not being bullied or made to feel not as pretty as other girls. My father was very abusive for many years sadly. It caused me so many issues relationship wise. I seem to have picked boys/men like him. I recently divorced my husband who was also abusive mentally, spiritually, financially and some physical. He's a minister imagine that. We're Christians and even though I was abused by my father and other relationships my ex husband seemed to bring out the worst in me. But I got away!🙏still believing God has something great planned for me. I have 4 children 39,37,34 and 28. I was the opposite of my father to a fault. I encountered, nurtured, loved but not so much discipline. I knew getting hit didn't teach me anything. I didn't know so much what love was but I knew what it wasn't. I grew up with brothers I was a bit of a tomboy. Didn't feel pretty, but as I got older I was getting compliments of how beautiful I was and because of all the abuse it took a long time to feel pretty and believe it 🙌🙏❤️thank you for commenting I appreciate it! I'm also a 10 year cancer survivor praise God! It's been quite the journey. I have a tiktok I have fun with evolutiondez2.0 as well 😇 Have a blessed weekend!
You are beautiful ❤️
Thank you so much!😇
