Love this piece, especially how the “small” moments while washing dishes ARE the healing. Showing up in truth and vulnerability even when its scary. When we feel abandoned, we abandon ourselves to fill the hole through a myriad of ways.

Thank you for your comment, Madeleine. Yes, we do to ourselves what was done to us, until we heal and learn to do differently. What a gift to have this awareness and the opportunity to transform. Thank you for reading.

Excellent. This is like seeing my reflection distortedly in a mirror. It’s not that there’s anything wrong with the mirror but with the reflection. I look into the mirror expecting to see you, but I see myself instead.
