Yup. My parents were neglectful and didn't really give a shit what I was doing. As an adult, they still don't really care about me and still aren't an active part of my life. When I was 12 years old I would say to my parents I wanted to move out. I would constantly dream and fantasize as a child of having a safe home to be in, where I had my basic needs taken care of, where I didn't constantly feel on edge and in survival mode.
It took a long time, but I have a happy family of my own. That’s very healing. Now my child won’t ever plan out all the ways a child can run away from home. And same to you. We deserve that.
I don't have my own family yet, but what you said really hits home. I have always known that I won't have that feeling of true belonging and being with my people until I have my own family. So for you to say that its really healing, gives me a lot of hope. I'm glad you found that, that's exactly what I hope for as well. Thank you ❤️

Nothing happier in this world than seeing children happy and feeling special and safe.
