Having a parent/s with unresolved issues can be difficult. The trauma is not our fault. We may have had to deal with verbal or physical abuse, and it can be difficult to cope with these emotions. Find healthy ways to cope with your emotions, such as talking to a therapist.

We were innocent bystanders in our parents’ unhealed-ness, and we cannot blame ourselves for their bad choices. We should also recognize that we do not have to deal with our parents if we do not want to. It is okay to set boundaries if our parents are too toxic.

It is also important to remember that our parents may have had different expectations for us than what we have for ourselves. We may feel like our parents are not supportive of our dreams and goals, but it is important to remember that they may have had different dreams and goals for us. It is important to have patience and compassion for our parents and to recognize that they are doing the best they can. Grab your water, raw cone, herbal tea, or libations & let’s get into it!
