The Struggle Is Real
“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.” ~~ Roald Dahl
Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. The mother-child relationship is unique to each mother and her child or children and is influenced by various factors as it evolves over time. While some relationships are characterized by harmony and closeness, others may face difficulties or periods of strain. If you are one of the lucky ones with a close relationship, congratulations. I, along with many others in the world, have unfortunately had the opposite experience. I had a strained relationship with my mother and felt that I could never please her. To be honest, I was more scared of her than anything as she was a fierce woman who demanded obedience and did not hesitate to dole out harsh punishment. My experience as a mother has also involved being estranged from my own daughter. I am learning that this is not uncommon and there are many of us in the world who struggle with special days such as Mother’s Day.
Dear Angels, it is important for us to realize that just because we are related to someone by blood, it does not automatically mean that we will be close to that person. Many families are experiencing difficulties in this respect. It is easy to feel like a failure when this happens. Please help us understand how to handle difficult relationships, especially within our biological family.
Dear Ones, give yourself permission to feel and acknowledge your emotions without judgment. Many times the problem involves the inability to communicate openly. Be gentle with yourself and recognize that your opinion matters. Set healthy boundaries that allow for mutual respect. Not every relationship you have will be harmonious. Learn to navigate through the emotional rollercoaster when this is the case. Always remember that you are worthy of love. You deserve happiness. Sometimes, despite your best efforts, you may not be able to change the behavior or dynamics within a difficult family relationship. In this case, acceptance and letting go may be necessary for your own peace of mind. Accept that you cannot control or change others, but you can choose how you respond and prioritize your own well-being. Always show empathy and compassion as you may not be aware of what is going on with those who are unable to exhibit closeness in relationships. Responding with unconditional love will be healing. On the other hand, maintain boundaries that honor who you are and if necessary step away for your own emotional health.
Dear Angels, thank you. I love you. Namaste y’all.
Today, I promise to love unconditionally and to stick to my healthy boundaries.
