Kindness

There is enough kindness to go around assuming you know where to find it.

Trauma centering on interpersonal relationships usually involves a lack of trust, betrayal, mismatched expectations, and/or hurtful behaviors.

With my 8 years and counting of such trauma, I have found being kind to myself first keeps me grounded.

Giving kindness is next. Like forgiveness, kindness helps us to avoid judgment.

It will be great when the father of my children, family members and friends decide to be kind to me and my kids.

In the mean time, I’ll keep being kind to myself. Mutual kindness is another way to say “do unto others”.
