@poohgirl312: Somewhere along the way, many of us stopped asking: “Why is she treating me this way?” …and started asking: “What is wrong with ME?” So we tried harder. We became quieter. More helpful. Less demanding. More forgiving. More careful with our words. More willing to accept less. Anything to finally become the daughter who was worthy of the love, tenderness and acceptance we kept reaching for. But healing can bring a painful—and freeing—realization: You were a CHILD trying to earn something you never should have had to earn. And maybe the woman you are today needs to stop measuring her worth by what her mother was unable—or unwilling—to give her. So here's a question for the little girl you used to be: If you could sit beside her for five minutes today, what would you tell her about herself? 💜 — Nikki Pooh #DaughtersOfNarcissisticMothers #MotherDaughterTrauma #InnerChildHealing #HealingFromNarcissisticAbuse #NikkiStrong
