Carrying the baggage of 'weak' men in both the paternal and maternal lineages, which expressed itself in violence, addiction, physical or mental absence and resulted in women covering for both parts and acting 'strong' at the expense of their femininity, I made it a priority this year to re-write my narrative of men being unreliable, not trustworthy and abusive.

I am aware of the transgenerational transmission of trauma, I own my parts and I have finally made a conscious decision to put my focus and energy on men, both in the virtual and in the physical world, who show up, speak their truth and do their inner work. Which requires me to show up, speak my truth and do my inner work first!

Knowing that it is for my integrity and for the well-being of my beautiful children to re-store my trust in men and cut the ambilical court to a narrative that lasted for generations and caused a lot of confusion, conflict and trauma on either side. Thank you for sharing your journey!
