How Being Neglected as a Child Impacts Your Adulthood

[@ayeshaleephotography]

I KNOW I was dismissed, neglected, physically and emotionally abused. My parents use to tell me to my face we see you but we don’t hear you. Any time my mother got a chance she would insult me and my dad would spank me about everything, from forgetting to feed the animals, not doing my chores, eating to slow, not doing my homework, bad grades, the list goes on. I don’t hate my parents. I feel sorry for them. I cut ties with my mother 8 years ago and just recently cut ties with my father. And I’ve NEVER been happier. I didn’t raise my kids the same way so they didn’t have to heal from the pain that was my youth. I’m working to heal my pain. I’m a work in progress but I believe one day I’ll be ok. Thank you for this video. As I reread what I typed it made me sad, I almost cried hahaha!!! That lets me know I still have work to do. 😊

I am so so sorry you experienced this but it is empowering to hear how you are showing up for you and knowing you are not what they did or said to you. Super proud of you to do what is best for you and your healing. Sending you love on this journey.
