Sylvia Clare Your parents were damaged people. Same with mine. It’s taken me a long time to accept this. What helped was reading that our souls choose the lessons that we wanted before we come into the world. That included choosing our parents for the lessons they would teach us.

Still as children, our minds were vulnerable to the criticism and other abusive behaviours by our parents. We formed limiting beliefs and grew up damaged ourselves. We can only break the cycle with a lot of personal development work and self awareness. I don’t blame them now that I realised that they were acting out of their own damaged selves. Marisa Peer teaches “I am enough” to help us to heal and rebuild our lives.

When our kids know that we love them, it helps them to be patient & forgiving with us!
