It's not your fault.

When I was 11, my mom moved out. Some bad things happened. And buried somewhere (not so deep) inside of me is still a scared little girl who thinks that if she was a better person, if she would have said the right things and did the right things that maybe it would have turned out differently. I never had anyone to tell me that I did nothing wrong, that it wasn't because of me. I'm still waiting for someone to tell me those things, tell it to me so many times that maybe one day it might sink in and I won't feel so guilty and bad and unloveable and not enough.

It's not your fault.

  2. It's not your fault.

    I used to keep a photo of myself at about the age of 6 that I would use as a way to remind myself that a bad thing that happened to me was not my fault. Seeing that little girl, knowing she couldn't know the things that I know now made it easier to accept that in many ways. It probably would not work for everyone in every situation, but it helped me when I needed it most.

    We can only try to make it better for our children.

    I'm sorry you had to go through this. :(
