Healing from a difficult childhood

What was done to you as a child was not your fault — and healing is still your work, because no one else can do it for you. The child who survived deserves to be met with compassion by the adult who carries them now. This healing is not a betrayal of the past; it is the most honest way of honoring what you actually lived.
