42 days no contact

Forgot to share how therapy went last week, but wow…major breakthrough.
While unpacking my abandonment issues, I realized they run way deeper than I thought. I finally understand where they come from, and why I’ve repeatedly ended up in unfulfilled relationships with avoidant and controlling men.
That awareness alone feels powerful.
Now it’s time to unpack all of this in my journal and really do the work. Yes, I picked the wrong husband and the wrong father for my child, but that’s a chapter, not the whole book.
This doesn’t define my future. I’m determined to heal, grow, and evolve to a point where I barely recognize the version of me that accepted less.
2026 is a year of growth, depth, and serious inner work.🤍

when you think about that “version of you” that accepted less, what’s the first thing you want to say to her now?

I’d tell her "you are not defined by the men you chose but by the woman you are becoming"

i realized my own abandonment wounds kept me chasing unavailable partners too. journaling has been the only way i start seeing patterns instead of blaming myself

I’m right there with you. Once you see the pattern, you can’t unsee it. It’s hard work, but so worth it to stop chasing people who aren't available.
