The most powerful thing I’ve ever done

 The most powerful thing I’ve ever done

was love my child enough to break the cycle.

To look my pain in the face
and choose not to pass it on.

To feel the weight of everything I went through
and still decide
they will grow up feeling safe.
They will grow up knowing love.
They will grow up unlearning what broke me.

Because healing is hard.
But watching my child grow up free is worth every moment of it.
