i want my children to look up on the love my husband and I share and shower them instead of having to endure tough love, silently crying to sleep while fights are ongoing, endless criticism and etc.
I want them to see and experience how they should be treated if they are truly being loved and not only realise it at a later tie when we are unable to redeem ourselves as parents.
I know I’m not of age to consider myself an adult but I am aware of how childhood trauma works and it can and will take a huge toll on one’s faith in finding love and believing in how they should be treated.
because they can’t see this, I wish to say:
Dearest parents, your fights have scarred me deeply and is the pure reason why I am unable to believe that I deserved to be loved by anyone. Truthfully, you were the first I’ve ever loved since I was brought to this world.

to Dad: your verbal abuse has drastically pulled down my self-esteem and has led me to lose all hope in all that I could possibly achieve. You made me believe that having to impress you is more important than pursuing my dreams and goals. You belittled me.
couples fight. Yes I do acknowledge that. But how they handle this between themselves will be reflected on how their child handles future situations.
There will definitely be hiccups in relationships, but resolving problems could be done without an ego. After all, with love, everything negative is put aside right?
i’m not sure if I’m making any sense in this thread but for all I know, my current family situation has taught me to love the hard way. I don’t appreciate what they put me through but I know how I’m going to be of good example to the family of my own now.
