"My child is, my children are my world"
Have you heard this said before, have you read it on a social media posts or seen it inside of a Pinterest quote? I know I have.
+ both before I had a child or my own and now that I do have an almost 5 year old with another on the way, that saying doesn't resonate with me, it actually gives me anxiety.
This is solely my opinion but if any part of your life, if any single person in your life is given that much weight, what happens to you and to your life once that person or that thing is gone?
I know this is not something we want to think about, losing someone, in any manner, especially if it wasn't expected or is out of our control is THE WORST.
If you are married to the person who is your best friend, your partner in crime, your soulmate and then for whatever reason you get a divorce after 25 years; is your life suddenly over? Don't you still have purpose?
If your world rotates around the tiny humans that you are raising right now what are you going to do, who are you going to be when they are 13, 18, 28 and they begin to have interests and lives outside of the one you built for them?
I TRULY don't say any of this to sound harsh, I say it out of love and I would and WILL say and explain it to my sons one day when they are older. It is a HUGE belief of mine that while giving up our life, metaphorically, for those we love is a great act of love, allowing ourselves to LIVE is an even GREATER ACT OF Love.
"What if a responsible mother isn't one who slowly dies and calls that love, what if a responsible mother is one who shows their child how to fight and be wildly alive?" - author Glennon Doyle
