It is important to remember if we're a child of immigrants, and our parents had a tumultuous upbringing, they were parenting from a place of unprocessed pain. They were parenting from trauma and without the mental health resources to help them adjust back to normalcy. Getting to a place of compassion, acceptance, and understanding why our parents are the way they are will free us from the burdens of our past selves.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Mental Health Resourceshttps://www.sincerelymissmary.com/mentalhealthresourcesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/sincerelymissmary/TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMJK1J3DB/Clubhouse: @sincerelymary

    In this episode, I share a story from a current chapter of my life. This is my love story of attracting a love that feels like home.Before I share my story, I discuss the fear of worthiness, a belief I carried with me throughout my toxic relationship and even before. To attract a healthy love is to dismantle the belief that we are unworthy of healthy love. The process of healing after heartbreak is the process of reclaiming the narrative of being worthy of all things good in life. We are worthy of having a life filled with peace, joy, and love. When we can believe these things about ourselves, we can then attract relationships that remind us we are worthy of everything we desire.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Mental Health Resourceshttps://www.sincerelymissmary.com/mentalhealthresourcesThe Breakup Workbook (free ebook): https://www.subscribepage.com/sincerelymissmarybreakupworkbookOriginal Published Love Story:https://medium.com/scribe/trigger-happy-d78816d97445?sk=8957a4ebcdebc9ad7c657e316d27e03aInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/sincerelymissmary/TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMJK1J3DB/Clubhouse: @sincerelymary

She is a woman, in my ex’s inner circle, who chose to turn her back on me after I condemned her friend for sexually assaulting me. I talk about how silence and complicity keep the toxic culture alive of letting men get away with sexual assault. It is so important for women to support women, believe in women, and stand with women…the Karen of my life turned her back on me...she represents someone who contributes to the problem instead of the solution of misogyny, victim-blaming, and systemic racism.With the recent events of Asian hate crimes and Evan Rachel Wood speaking up against her abuser, Marilyn Manson, I knew this was an important story to share, in hopes to help anyone going through this feel less alone.If you have ever been victim-blamed or faced silence and complicity from the people in your life who knew your abuser, please know, you did nothing wrong, and you didn’t deserve it.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Breakup Workbook (free ebook): https://www.subscribepage.com/sincerelymissmarybreakupworkbookInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/sincerelymissmary/TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMJK1J3DB/Clubhouse: @sincerelymaryRise Up Poetry:https://medium.com/fearless-she-wrote/rise-up-9f48aabecf5?sk=dda3246343dc9bbe479b2f73a6b99488Original Karen Essay:https://aninjusticemag.com/to-the-karen-of-my-life-your-silence-is-loud-e509b0b0db8a?source=friends_link&sk=a17b0882d999d871e73b763780285c3d
