Is it just me who is trying to break the cycle of having a mother who couldn’t love her daughter?
There’s still a little girl inside me who may never understand. Now, when I look at my own children and feel how much love I have for them, I understand even more deeply what the absence of that love meant for me.Breaking the cycle and finding genuine self-love without the inner critic can feel incredibly lonely.
