[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 657890, member: 18958"] SWOT, what I am dealing with I think is something similar. No matter how strong we are there are pieces within us, as if we are still that vulnerable child. We can go on and live intentionally and competently, while that child piece of us, remains tethered to the mother, and need for the mother. Who never existed or if she existed, was not enough. And it is that hurt piece of us that needs to be allowed a voice, claimed as our own. Cared for and accepted. And with that we heal, I think. Allowing a space for that hurt, and the care that comes with it alongside the anger and defiant voice of survival. The hurt behind the rage. We are and have been loving, strong, and responsible Mothers. The Mothers we did not have. That which was never modeled for us. We go back for parts of ourselves. To go back, we resubmit, intentionally, to the pain of those times. To give to ourselves, what our mothers had been unable or unwilling to give. Courage. [/QUOTE]
