Thank you for sharing this. It’s such lovely, thoughtful writing. That quiet feeling of something not quite lining up, even when everything looks “fine,” is so real. I love how you stayed with it, even without clear answers. 💛
This is pure gold. I won’t go into detail here, both out of respect for my child’s privacy but just too much atm to dig up from long ago. Trust your child, call them by their name ❤️ I don’t regret that trust at all.
Well done for trusting your instincts. So much of this mirrors my own experience with my daughter. Since she was even as young as 2, I had a sense that my experience was different. Everything I was being told by other parents and the parenting advice, just didn't quite add up. But I couldn't explain it.
It took me an awful long time to really listen to those instincts. The noise is loud! I’m pleased this resonates with you and your experiences with your daughter. I really hope it might help others earlier in their journey. As we know, so much suffering can occur because of pushing our instincts down over time. Thank you for reading and commenting :-)
