FRIENDSHIP - IT’S NOT A NUMBERS GAME

You can have one friend - one single friend - whose support is so fierce, so fabulously fierce, that you feel like there is an army behind you.

And yet you can have umpteen other friends whose allegiance you are not entirely sure of…

You can meet a new friend tomorrow who rocks into your life, rolls up and says ‘I am here for you.’ And they actually, truly are.

Yet you can have friends you’ve known and loved for years and years who can’t show up even for the best of times, never mind the worst.


Friendship is not a numbers game, it’s a game of instinct - trust yours.

I’ve been doing a lot of work with an alienated Mum - it’s heart-breaking but we are getting there!

Messages from a Once Alienated Child... things aren't always as they appear. Your world is full of distortions and trickery.

"The stories I was told were set on repeat for years. I was too young to question them. It was my mom, I trusted her. I didn't think a parent would lie to a child. And because of it I hated you. I hated you because I felt worthless. Like someone their own parent couldn't even love. In reality, it was my mom that didn't love me. Either way I had to face the reality that one of my parent's didn't love me. So if you are an alienated parent and your child is being hateful towards you, remember we are hurting. We lose no matter what. So please don't be just another person we lose and proves to us we are not worthy. I am ashamed of where I came from."

We talk to so many parents at Pathways Family Coaching & Reunification who have lost themselves to "Parental Alienation." They remain focused on how their co-parent continues to weaponize their children, and the hurtful things their kids say and do. They become isolated, struggle to find anyone who truly understands, are dismissed by the courts, and ultimately find themselves "stuck" feeling powerless.

I know this feeling well...I was stuck there for a long time, and I ultimately lost my child to as a result.

Here's the thing...enduring this kind of intimate partner violence ( ) can either toughen you up or break you. Don't let define who you become. Seize this opportunity to really get to know what you're made of, and focus on what you do have control over. You do have the power to effect change in your children.

Please absorb this….

The man doesn’t know that there is a snake underneath. The woman doesn’t know that there is a stone crushing the man. The woman thinks: “I am going to fall! And I can’t climb because the snake is going to bite me! Why can’t the man use a little more strength and pull me up!” The man thinks: “I am in so much pain! Yet I’m still pulling you as much as I can! Why don’t you try and climb a little harder!?”

The moral is— you can’t see the pressure the other person is under, and the other person can’t see the pain you’re in. This is life, whether it’s with work, family, feelings or friends, we should try to understand each other. Learn to think differently, perhaps more clearly and communicate better. A little thought and patience goes a long way.

Love this!

TO THE WOMAN WHO THINKS SHE ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH

To the woman who looks around and wonders why everyone else is so much more capable, so much stronger, so much more ambitious than her.

To the woman who thinks everyone else is blazing a fiery path through this thing we call life, while she limps behind, barely getting through the days.

Somewhere, another woman is looking at you thinking exactly the same.

You see, we all look like we’re kinda nailing it, from the outside in.

We all look ‘together’ sometimes.
Catch us on the right day and hey, we look like we have it all.
Because guess what, we learned to look that way a long time ago.
We learned to hide our struggles behind a smile and whack on that mask every day.

And actually, we are doing each other a favour when we show up,
just as we are,
warts and all,
late,
flustered,
human.

What we really need to see is that we are all the same.
We all struggle.
We all fall apart.

Some days we nail it, other days we get nailed.

By hiding our own weaknesses, fears, worries, we give them more power.
If you let it out, shine a light on it all, it becomes so much less scary, funny even…
And goodness only knows we need to laugh.

So, to the woman who wonders if she is good enough…

If this is you.
Yes you are.
You always were.

You don’t have to live up to everyone’s expectation of how you should be coping.
You are human, flawed, wonderful, miraculous, loveable, loved.

I see you,

Now do me a favour and go see all the others too.
Spread the word, we are good enough, just as we are.
