I will teach my daughter how to love, but most important how to stop. They never teach you how to stop.
They truly don’t. This is a beautiful lesson. Teaching her to know when to let go, when to know she’s worth more than what she’s getting.
This is a huge jewel to remember if i ever have a daughter
How do you even teach that?
by reinforcing your worth and supporting a daughter that knows being guilt tripped into love by a controlling person isn’t healthy. being manipulated or humiliated isn’t love. being deceived or abused isn’t love. shaping a daughter into an aware, self loving person who knows she’s worthy of only the utmost respect and love is how you teach that. my mamma taught me that from a lil one. don’t take anybody’s shit and don’t take no wooden nickels. 💖
I believe I grew up being taught the direct opposite. Not just through words - but actions. This is so real, and so important
