I admire people that are comfortable setting and enforcing boundaries. I didn’t get that quality.
We just had a little one I had to coax through grieving simply how much her parents have aged. They are alive and well, but she dealt with death pretty young and she has been terrified of her parents dying ever since, so suddenly realizing your parents are retirement age could be a shock to say the least. Poor thing. I'll just have to prove to her that she won't be alone and we can become just as supportive if not hopefully better than her parents. I never sought out to be a mother and we've always abhorred the idea of becoming one since mental illness runs in our family and we can't even properly take care of ourselves yet. It is a wild idea to me to associate myself with anything maternal, but I'm growing to realize the only way is to give them what they never got, the mother they needed.
Tysm for this. You truly helped me realize how to become a better mother for the littles, and when the middles needed support. Thank you. -Cassandra
I just saw this and I have to comment.
This video has had a profound impact on me.
I’m struggling so hard to be nurturing to my littles. My system has been sick from how I haven’t been able to connect very well.
I can’t fully share with you just how much what you said here touched me and helped me to begin the process of taking care of them more like this.
Tonight I brought stuffies to bed and I put a dolly and a teddy in my Amazon cart.
The other part that helped me immensely was when you talked about piecing together what you think you know at the moment. It was so comforting to hear that reminder that it’s ok to not always know things fully and to guess a little from what you’ve gleaned so far.
I’ve been scared to say what I “think” I know out of fear that I don’t know for sure.
But when you said that, I didn’t feel judgemental. I didn’t think you were lying. I thought, “that’s cool that you are trying to piece together and that you have a rough idea of what is likely going on”
It just gave me some confidence to be ok if I have conjectures of what “seems” to be going on.
I’ve been so scared of feeling like I was lying or not being right, that I just didn’t even try.
Thank you for helping me get confident with that.
✏️I'm so so glad I could help! I hope that things get easier soon ❤️ we have another video about not knowing things if you look in Audrey's playlist
@@WeAreAlexandra I will look thanks!
I remember the otters when I was boogie boarding as a kid in. N. Cali. You made me smile.
The fact that you love the littles and want to give them what you yourself didn’t get, is so obvious and so heartfelt. The littles are blessed with having you as their mom.❤
This is a lovely video. Thank you for sharing about your experiences as a mother 💞 It is great to hear how you and the system littles are doing 😇
It's great to share it!
Thank you so much for this video!! This is filled with love and care, and we sincerely appreciate you all!! ☕🎶
You have a lovely family! Thanks for discussing this topic 💜
So beautiful.
Being a mother is not limited to those who gave birth and mother's come many different forms. Happy Mothers' Day to all those system moms!
Love my step children 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
🥰😘❤️
This is so sweet, thanks for sharing it :) Much love for all of you
We love this video. Glad you all talked about this.
❤❤❤
Our mother(s) sucked. Our physical/emotional protector has been that for us and we have an external mother figure. We love both and actually I made the external mother a gift. Nevermind they’re just 2 years older, they fill that emotional role in our lives. True love as it is described by Rhea:
Parental love is not tough love. Tough love is borderline abuse. Parental love is guiding love. Love that everyone else has never had and that needs to be stable and there. I teach them through their mistakes and hold them responsible while not shaming or guilting them. Shame and guilt are some of Leila’s triggers, previous above. I just wanted to share what it’s like on my end as a mother. It’s like a fragment of my heart is put back in place and I didn’t know it was missing. I just want them to be happy as it is my child and I accept them as they are. We love you guys and I love you Leila.
