Breaking cycles can feel so isolating and finding support can make a world of difference.
Breaking cycles is lonely work. Especially when it happens inside families.
If you’re being misunderstood for choosing boundaries, growth, or peace, that doesn’t mean you’re wrong. It often means your mind is learning new patterns after years of being taught to survive instead of feel safe.
Your nervous system might still question the choice, replay old guilt, or look for permission that will never come. That’s part of the process. Healing asks the mind to unlearn what once kept you protected.
Not everyone will understand why you changed. Some may resist it. That doesn’t make the work any less real or necessary. Choosing clarity and self-respect can be uncomfortable, but it creates room for something healthier to take root.
If this speaks to you, share it with someone who might need the reminder today. Sometimes seeing it put into words helps the mind finally rest.
Breaking cycles can be isolating. But you're not alone. I'm right there with you. 💛
