Either you face your demons

 Either you face your demons

or they raise your kids

because the things you ignore
don’t disappear

they show up
in the way you react
in the way you speak
in the way you love

they show up in your patience
or the lack of it
in your triggers
in the things you swore you’d never become

and kids don’t just hear what you say

they feel what you haven’t healed

they grow up learning
what love looks like
what anger sounds like
what’s “normal”

from you

so no…
it’s not just about breaking cycles
it’s about being honest enough
to admit they exist

and strong enough
to do something about it

because one day
your child will either
inherit your healing

or your wounds

and that choice
starts with you
