Live Free

Parents. They die. Abandoning us and leaving us bereft and unable to function. Especially if we are caregivers.

Parents leave us at the emotional baggage depot holding baggage that is not our own. Our parents' fuck-ups should never have been ours. Yet, they die and leave us emotionally traumatised and unable to cope with the very big, real world without them in it.  

To be free one must forgive and grieve  properly. 

I know. I had much to forgive! It doesn't change what happened or how your parents treated you, but it does free you from the bonds and shackles they imposed. 

At some point we HAVE to grow up and realise WE are responsible for US. It is our choice now, whether or not we live in the shadows of our parents or validate every hurt they inflicted through their carelessness and selfishness. 

We were children. This emotional burden, It is NOT ours to bear. Ever. It's all on them! 

Life is for the living. Live free. Anything less is mere existence.
