Do not call me perfect,
a lie is never a compliment.
Call me an erratic
damaged and
insecure mess.
Then tell me that you
love me for it.
A lot of parents make the mistake of thinking they are above apologising to their children and think they do not owe their kids anything in regards to that. It’s so problematic because that’s how harmful behaviour becomes normalised in households. It’s so damaging to children. I don’t want to raise my kids like that, I want them to see that yes even parents have to take responsibility for their actions and say sorry. I wouldn’t want them to end up mimicking that kind of behaviour or end up resenting me for dismissing their valid feelings.
