We’ve all been through this, and it’s with love that I share it. My mom loved me so much, but sometimes, by trying to help, it hurt. I don’t blame her at all — she gave me so much confidence in so many other ways. But some of the comments stuck with me longer than she ever meant them to. And now, as a mother myself, I’ve accidentally said things that didn’t come out right either. It’s so easy to pass down the same words without realizing the weight they carry. I just want you to know: you decide which comments you carry forward, and which ones you set down for good. You get to choose what gets passed to the next generation. LTKootd LTKmomlife LTKOver40
