((((earthmama))))

It sucks to have these flashbacks, but it is also joyous that the 3 yr old does not have to go through this all alone anymore.

I don't know if this will help, but when I feel that child inside of myself I try to imagine myself being the parent I never had. I will imagine myself giving her the hug that she needs, or singing her a lullaby...whatever I think might make that part of myself feel loved.

Just love yourself, earthmama, like you love your children everyday. The pain the 3 yr old has had to carry all these years is not her fault. She did the very best she could, and that is something to love and praise.

A big gigantic hug for the 3 yr old, and another for the adult you!
