DDTD! (Dont Doubt The Daughter!!!)
Weather you are a mother or a daughter reading this it will still relate to you so keep on reading....
I'm going to start with an example of what i'm really talking about in this post with my own life experience.
So one night i felt something a little off with my mum, it was nothing she said or how she was acting i just had a weird vibe coming from her. I didn't say anything at first i waited until everyone was going to bed and i just asked her if everything was alright, and as mums do they will reply with "yeah,i'm fine, whys that?". But being the person i am i trusted what energy i was feeling from her and asked if it had something to do with her grandmother who had passed away and she looked at me and said "how did you know!?" I'm not to sure why i thought it was that but it was kind of a obvious thing to me and as the title says DON'T DOUBT THE DAUGHTER!
Most mothers i know they try and stay strong 24/7 and suppress whatever makes them upset or stressed, hence why they snap at you for no reason sometimes. They are not personal attacks unless you actually did mess up or do something stupid....
So as a daughter just let your mum know how much you appreciate how strong she is and how she stays strong for you and the rest of your family.
I'm a daughter of one of the strongest lady/mum i know. So i'm here to let all the strong mummy's out there know to stay strong but also let yourself acknowledge your emotional side, you are human and you might be staying strong for your kids but its not healthy for you or your family. Especially if you have teenagers around they forget their parents have feelings hence why we are very selfish because we are the only ones that are "allowed" to have emotions or breakdowns.
I find it a good life lesson for everyone. Your not being weak for wanting to shed a few tears or wanting to reach out to someone, we are human and as long as we come out stronger afterwards i call it balance. You are allowed to feel a certain way in a certain situation just as long as your not dwelling on it.
Lesson for the Daughter
Your parents are human and they are allowed to have an emotional moment as well. Usually they have these breakdowns/moments because they are being to strong for you for to long. STOP BEING SELFISH!
Lesson for Mums
The reason why us teenagers get so tough on you is mostly because we don't see you break down so we think you can take anything. Also i want you to know it's okay to show or talk about how your feeling don't keep yourself in the dark. If you feel like you cant talk to anyone my mum and I are always here on Steemit.
