This was one of the hardest things for me to hold.
Because it would have been easier if it was all one or the other.
All good. Or all harmful.
But it wasn’t.
There were moments of care.
Moments that felt like love.
And also moments where something in me didn’t feel safe.
And for a long time, I thought I had to choose one version of that story.
But healing didn’t come from choosing.
It came from allowing both to be true - without dismissing the part that hurt.
Because love doesn’t cancel impact.
And naming that doesn’t take anything away from what was good… it just allows the truth to be whole.
