You didn’t just hear what to do.
You watched it.
Be quiet!
Don’t react!
Walk away!
You saw her choose silence
over her own needs.
Over and over again.
So you learned-
this is how you stay safe.
This is how you keep the peace.
And now you do the same.
You don’t say no.
You agree to avoid conflict.
You disappear in the moment
you should be there for yourself.
It feels normal.
But it’s not who you are.
It’s what you learned.
