Healing My Inner Child While Forgiving My Mother

We talk about "daddy issues" but what happens when you didn't/don't have a healthy realtionship with your mother? 

WHAT ABOUT  "MOMMY ISSUES" The relationship one has with their mother can most certainly be considered one of the most important relationships one can have. 

When we think of broken homes, the average person will automactically assume the father is the absent parent. What happens when the relationship with who the world considers as the "nurturer" is dysfunctional?  Or what about the mother who takes life's problems out on her children? 

I want to invite you to join MY BESTIE and I (my daughter) as we share our journey of healing. 

I was fortunte enough to grow up in a house full of love. After I left home and got out into the real world, I quickly found out that my life as a child was a fairytale. Life's problems hit and I was overwhelemed. Unfortunately, my children didn't grow up in the same two-parent home full of love that I did. 

After years of heartbreak, I was emotionally bankrupt. I spent a decade in survival mode. In my quest to make it through the heartache, I began to numb my feelings. The more I operated in my masculine energy, the more my feminine energy took a backseat. My children suffred the most. My little princess, grew up in front of me but I missed it. I was so saturated in emotional pain, I missed out on the most impressonible years of her life and she resented me for it.  All we did was fight for 3 years straight. I became one of those mothers I NEVER wanted to be. One who was cold towards my children. 

In my personal shadow-work (facing the thoughts and memories inside of oneself) I had to acknowledge the damage that was done to my children because of my unaddressed trauma. Loss of jobs, broken relationships, abuse, classism, sexism, racism, I was tired of fighting the systems of this world. Hurt people really do hurt people. I was hurt and I hurt my children. 

Whether you need help forgiving yourself (like I did) or you need to forgive your mother (like I did) this weekend is for you. Some of us need to cater to the inner-child inside of us that longs for a relationship with our first care-giver.  Others of us need to close the door on hate, bitterness and resentment. 

I worked on me. She worked on her. We worked on US!  Come and find out what we did to relight the torch!
