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.

Breaking the Cycle: Letting Go of Tit-for-Tat in Marriage

Recently, my therapist gently pointed out how much I tend to nit-pick and keep score with my spouse. It was a tough pill to swallow, but I realized how often I fall into the trap of tit-for-tat—counting every little thing, waiting for my partner to make up for my own efforts. It’s exhausting and honestly, it keeps us from truly connecting. I’m learning that love isn’t about keeping score, but about giving freely and trusting that we’re both doing our best. Letting go of the need to be right or even has brought a new sense of peace to our home. Have you ever struggled with this in your relationship?
