Last March, my daddy died. Eight months later, I made one of the hardest decisions of my life: I stepped away from relationship with my mother and in so doing, set down a burden I’d been carrying for decades. For years, I publicly shared my story of childhood abuse in a religious cult in Moscow, Idaho. But I left out one critical truth: the fact that my own mother orchestrated my abuse by a man 10 years older than me when I was just 13 years old. Even though I witnessed it, it never made sense to me. It probably never will. But one thing finally became clear: I could no longer sacrifice my health and well-being to protect her. While I suffered and struggled through life as a childhood abuse survivor, she lived shielded—not only by the church that defended my abuser and shunned me and my father, but also by me. I didn’t share the rest of my story to dwell in victimhood, add to the brokenness of the world, or create more pain. But my greatest loyalty lies with my husband and my four children, who deserve a better example than a mother who tolerates and justifies abuse simply because it comes from “family.” The process of untangling my mother’s voice from my own has been nothing short of grueling. I didn’t realize it was possible to feel so many emotions at once, or how much of my inner voice had been replaced with hers. After a lifetime of being gaslit, manipulated, and abused, I finally said NO MORE. I don’t expect everyone to understand my decision. I’m the only one who lived my story. I’m the one unraveling the dizzying mess that 37 years of narcissistic abuse created. The thing I thought I could never do—cut ties with my mother while she was still alive—became the very thing I had to do to save my own life and break the generational chains that bind the women in my family. Walking away from her was agonizing. I wanted to save her. I desperately clung to hope that one day she’d wake up, that the Christian values she claims to live by would take root in her actions. But I no longer had the strength to hold on. Or perhaps I’d finally found the courage to let go. I will always love my mother, but our journey together in this lifetime has ended. I have willingly orphaned myself so my children can have what I never did—a mother who chooses healing, truth, and unconditional love over silence, shame, and abuse. ⛓️💥🦋❤️🩹 (If you’re interested, you can read more of my story on my pinned IG post, there’s a link in my bio.) #HealingJourney #BreakingGenerationalChains #ChildhoodAbuseSurvivor #ReligiousAbuse #NarcissisticAbuse #FamilyTrauma #SurvivorStory #MentalHealthAwareness #ChooseHealing #NoMoreAbuse #CourageToLetGo #TruthOverSilence #UnconditionalLove #GenerationalHealing

Calling Out Unhealthy Behavior: A Path to Healing Healing begins with honesty, and sometimes the most honest thing we can do is call out the unhealthy behaviors—whether they are in ourselves, others, or the systems we operate in. True healing requires us to face what isn’t working, and that often means naming and addressing the behaviors that are holding us back from growth and wellness. 🌿 Here’s why calling out unhealthy behavior is so powerful: • It creates awareness: You can’t change what you don’t acknowledge. When you call out behaviors—whether it’s in yourself or others—you’re bringing the issue to light, which is the first step toward healing. • It sets boundaries: Addressing unhealthy behavior helps you set clear boundaries for what you will and won’t accept. This is essential for protecting your peace, mental health, and overall well-being. • It’s an act of self-love and accountability: Holding yourself or others accountable for unhealthy behavior isn’t about blame or shame—it’s about fostering growth and encouraging healthier patterns that lead to long-term healing. • It opens the door to transformation: Once unhealthy behaviors are called out, you have the opportunity to replace them with healthier habits, thoughts, and actions. This is where healing begins—by choosing to move forward in a new, more positive direction. Calling out unhealthy behavior isn’t easy, but it’s necessary. Whether it’s letting go of toxic relationships, addressing harmful patterns in your own life, or speaking up about systems that need change, honesty is the gateway to healing. Healing requires courage, and that courage begins with calling out what no longer serves you. Let’s take the brave step toward a healthier, more empowered version of ourselves—one where unhealthy behaviors are acknowledged, addressed, and replaced with the energy of growth and transformation. 💪🏽 #HealingThroughHonesty #CallOutUnhealthyBehaviors #PathToHealing #BoundariesMatter #AccountabilityAndGrowth #SelfAwareness #TransformationJourney #HolisticWellness #MentalHealthMatters #ChooseHealing

The Power of Love with Boundaries Tough love often comes when someone on the outside of addiction reaches their breaking point—when they can no longer maintain the lifestyle that addiction forces upon them. It’s a painful and overwhelming place to be. But love with boundaries is something different. It’s about creating safeguards that allow you to continue loving the person in addiction, without enabling harmful behaviors or sacrificing your own well-being. Boundaries aren’t walls—they’re bridges to healthier relationships, protecting everyone involved while fostering accountability and hope. If you’re navigating this, remember: love and boundaries can coexist. You can support them while still taking care of yourself. #LoveWithBoundaries #ToughLove #AddictionSupport #HealthyBoundaries #GriefAndHealing #RecoveryJourney #ProtectYourPeace #LovingFromAFar #AddictionAwareness #SupportWithoutEnabling #HealingTogether #MentalHealthMatters #BreakTheCycle #FamilyAndAddiction #HopeInRecovery #BoundariesMatter #SelfCareAndLove #RecoveryIsPossible #OneDayAtATime #StrengthInLove #ChooseHealing
