How my mom became my rock after heartbreak

Author

If you're wondering how my breakup recovery is going, just look at this picture. I’m Sadness, and my mom is definitely Joy.

​She refuses to let me stay down for too long. Whether she’s talking me through the confusion or giving me the "tough love" talk I need to keep the No Contact rule, she’s been my rock. It isn’t always easy to be pulled along when you’re feeling low, but I am so lucky to have her hand to hold.

​Blessed is an understatement! 🙌✨

We all need a little extra support right now. Who is the person (or even the furry friend!) that has been your absolute rock lately? Let’s take a second to shout out the people keeping us going! 👇

having someone like that is everything… when i couldn’t trust my own decisions after my breakup, i just let my best friend be my voice for a while.

this made me smile and sting at the same time… i remember being the “sadness” too while my sister dragged me out of bed and basically carried me through no contact. i didn’t want it then, but damn i needed it

my house mate, my dog, normally my childhood best friend but she is on retreat. I know my girl who i will call C has my back.

I love that your mom is showing up for you so hard. Good job accepting help!
