This is a master manipulator.
“A person who controls or influences others in a clever or unscrupulous way.”

This is why we must love, accept, and trust ourselves, so that we can stand up to unscrupulous behavior.

When we doubt our feelings, and push them away, and then write a story like, “Oh they didn’t treat me so bad, I must have done something to provoke it” or you use toxic positivity and say,
“I shouldn’t have reacted so negatively” we are giving in to the manipulation and abandoning ourselves.

It’s okay to respond “negatively” there is nothing wrong with you when this happens.

Of course own your response in a situation, but make sure you communicate that the other person MUST own their behavior, otherwise there can be no helpful resolution.

Nothing will change and you deserve to be seen, heard, respected, and loved.❤️

(Confront a manipulator about what they did wrong, and watch them make it about you.-unknown)

"I waited and waited for you,
For nine whole months.
Since the beginning which felt so rough,
The middle which felt like a teaser,
Through the end which felt so long.
My patience was tested in every way,
But you were worth the wait,
To me, you are perfect.
⠀
I worried and worried over you,
About everything that could go wrong.
Whether I could give you what you need,
Whether you would enter this world healthy,
Whether we would continue our journey after we met.
My worry for you was constant,
But you were worth every worry,
You are my everything.
⠀
I tossed and turned every night for you,
Looking for the comfort I craved.
Trying so hard to rest because I was tired,
Fighting insomnia like it was something I could control,
Waking to your movements because I wanted to check on you.
My darkness was more awake than asleep,
But you were worth every sleepless night,
You are what I dreamed of

I’ve stretched and stretched some more for you.
In every which way imaginable.
My body has been pulled and scarred,
My mind was opened wider,
My heart was torn throughout.
My give knew no bounds,
But you were worth every stretch,
You are the growth worth celebrating.
⠀
I’ve pushed and pushed my body to get you here,
It’s not always been easy.
I endured physical intensity and exhaustion.
I tapped into every emotion possible,
I depleted most sources available.
I forgot just how testing it was,
But you were worth every push,
You are the result I’ll remember.
⠀
I’ve given everything and more to be with you,
But it was so worth it.
My darling,
You were so worth it."

"Oh, how there are a million things to do
And I’ll do them, I will
I’ll do those too
But right now
I’ll just be,
Here,
With you.

Oh, how I want to sleep, I do
And one day, I will
I’ll sleep right through
But right now
I’ll just be
Here,
With you.

Oh, how the days are long, it’s true
Yesterdays are many
But todays are a few
So, I’ll fill them up
With all of you
And simply be,
Here,
With you."

I have a little treasure that sleeps like this.. 🥰🥰

So true s d so worth re reminding ourselves of this list

"Let each child choose their own timing,
let them assess the risk and take it when they are ready..."

Force is Violence
Forcing children to do what they are afraid to do is one very quick way to mess up their innate ability to judge their readiness to undertake new tasks and learnings. We have all seen the child who looks on and observes a situation or activity before attempting it. Sometimes the deliberation lasts only minutes, sometimes hours, but it can take days and even weeks; yet eventually the child takes the risk and moves into action when SHE has judged herself ready. Let each child choose their own timing, let them assess the risk and take it when they are ready.

Nanay ang isa sa pinaka abalang tao sa buong mundo pero sila rin ang unang nasisisi kapag may hindi magandang nangyayari o napapansin sa kanilang mga anak, nakakalungkot pero may katotohanan. Ginawa mo ng lahat pero hindi pa rin sapat.

Mula sa Facebook ni Mommy Heids nagbahagi sya ng kanyang saloobin tungkol sa mga inang madalas nasisisi.

Kapag magulo ang bahay,
“Maghapon wala kang ginagawa?!”
Hindi niyo nakita na maaga pa, hindi na kami magkanda ugaga.
Pag nadapa si baby,
“yan kasi hindi mo tinitignang maigi!”
Hindi niyo nakita, na buong araw wala kaming pahinga mabantayan lang siya.
Kapag nagkasakit si baby,
“Pabaya ka kasing Ina”
Pero hindi niyo nakita ang aming pag aalaga.
Kapag payat si baby.
Kapag delayed magsalita si baby.
Kapag iyakin si baby.
Kapag nabukulan si baby.
Kapag pihikan sa pagkain si baby..
Madalas nasa amin ang sisi.
Nasa amin ang pagkakamali.
Makita niyo rin sana, na sa kabila ng aming kakulangan, ay may maganda rin kaming nagagawa.
Makita niyo rin sana ang pagod, puyat at sakripisyo naming mga Ina..
Pagod na katawan..
Pagod na isipan..
Pero sana hindi mabigat at pagod na kalooban.

I’m sorry if I cancel
or say I cannot go.
I do not mean to disappoint.
I’m trying hard, you know.

I’ve eggs in many baskets
and I want to do it all.
I’m juggling and struggling.
I’m so afraid to fall.

I want to keep you happy
and all the others too,
But the truth is that I’m failing
To keep up with all of you.

I care so much and want to share
Your highs and lows and more,
But it’s hard to be as present
As the friend I was before.

These little beings that we’ve made
Consume my energy.
And if I ever get a minute,
I crave some silence to ‘just BE’..
. Be alone and be at rest,
A luxury I rarely get,
And while I want to know what’s happening,
I need to just forget..
..The jobs, the tasks, and all the roles
I daily have to play,
And to spend time with my littles
Who won’t always be this way.

I’m surviving, never thriving.
My heads barely above water.
My priorities now need to be
my son and darling daughter.

So, again, I’m truly sorry
If I sometimes don’t reply.
I love you dearly, never fear,
I’m just trying to get by💔.
