*The Pain of Not Being Celebrated*

As a therapist, I often sit with clients who have achieved so much...they are capable, nurturing, and resilient. Yet beneath their accomplishments lies a quiet grief: the pain of never being celebrated.

For those raised by narcissistic or emotionally unavailable parents, recognition often came only when it reflected well on the parent; not when it honored the child’s authentic self. As adults, these individuals may continue striving for validation that never arrives, especially from a parent who remains unable to see beyond their own needs.

Even in moments of success, like raising their own children with care, building a stable life, and healing from trauma, a conversation with that parent can reopen old wounds. The hurt isn’t about the present interaction as much as it is about the lifelong absence of being genuinely seen and delighted in.

Healing begins when we allow ourselves to grieve what was missing without self-blame.

To name that longing :
ā€œI wanted to be celebratedā€
is not weakness; it’s truth.

And with time, the work becomes learning to hold that space for ourselves: to affirm, to honor, and to celebrate the person we’ve become, even if our parents never could.

You are worthy of celebration, not for what you do, but for who you are.

**Sweet today, sour tomorrow**:

šŸ„¤āž”ļøšŸ§  Sugary sodas may fuel depression, especially in women.

Your gut and brain are talking. What you drink matters.

A new study shows that sugary drinks don’t just affect physical health—they may also raise the risk of depression in women by disrupting the gut microbiome.
