Thank you for teaching your daughter the importance of speaking up for herself and expressing her feelings.
I've been working on not leaving important things unsaid. It can be hard, embarrassing, and scary but it's worth it to say what's really on your mind. I'm finding that I can't assume that people understand or know how I feel if I don't tell them.
I hope you get your amicable split. I can relate on a few levels to this post. ❤️✨
Thank you so much for all of this. I am realizing that I haven't been as good as I'd like about speaking up, and I do have this expectation people will know because I usually know what others are feeling.
I have good reason to hope for the amicable split, though we are still fighting a good bit. I think we are both ready to be done.
