Perhaps, we fell short in the self-love department, and we might have made different decisions along the way if we’d been kinder to ourselves and felt more self-worth? As an alienated parent, you will most likely be a kind, empathetic, giving, loving person. You have to give that same love to yourself. If someone has taken advantage of your loving, giving, kind nature, that doesn’t make you weak or stupid. You know how to love, and they envy you if they don’t have that same capacity. Don’t let this experience dim your light or your love. It is your superpower. Of course it doesn’t feel like that sometimes. It’s easy to look at the world and think that lying, cheating, inhumane, greedy, vile … (you get my drift) are the winners. They’re not. They gaslight and blame and manipulate and lie. Do you believe in karma? Even if you don’t, it’s scientifically proven – everything is energy. We read each other’s energy. We know to cross the road when something doesn’t feel right. If we knew our engagement with a future alienating parent wasn’t right, we probably went along with it because we hoped it would work out, or we couldn’t do any better (lack of self-worth/love), or many other reasons. This is an opportunity now to really give yourself love. We tend to look ‘over there’ and give to others/our children. It’s not selfish, but it does start with you, me, and each of us individually. For you and for everyone.
