Facing the Truth: Realizing I Emotionally Neglected My Child

Today, I had a tough realization—I’ve been emotionally neglecting my child without even knowing it. Between work, daily stress, and endless to-do lists, I thought I was doing enough by providing and being physically present. But I see now that I haven’t truly listened or connected with my child’s feelings. The guilt is heavy, but I know this is the first step toward healing. I want to be more intentional, to show up emotionally and let my child know they’re truly seen and heard. If you’ve ever felt this way, you’re not alone.
