A loving parent can do a lot of good. But an absent, inconsistent, or conditional parent can still leave a specific wound that no amount of love from the other parent fully heals. Especially when that parent is a father. Not because fathers are “more important,” but because they represent a different mirror. A mother often teaches you are loved. A father often teaches you are enough in the world. When that second mirror is cracked—or missing—you don’t stop being loved… but you can stop feeling chosen, affirmed, or solid in your worth. #healingjourney #selfworthjourney #generationalhealing #stopthecycle #mentalhealth
