Sometimes when our family lineage is experiencing some sort of pain, that gets passed from one generation to another. There will come one person, who is born into the family, to break the family free from this cycle.
Now how do you know if you’re one.
For example, you’re asked to support your family’s financial burden, to the point where it is extremely unfair to you.
Or you are yelled at or hurt by your parents, and yet you are demanded to cast aside your feelings to show your parents respect.
Or you are expected to sacrifice your desire to make your parents happy.
All in all, it seems like you’re in constant conflict with your family, feeling a lot of pressure to do something out of expectation or obligation.
If you have a huge urge to stand up for it, and yet, it seems like you’re all alone, everyone is against you.
You’re probably in this role.
I know it may be difficult for you to see it, because you’re in the midst of it. And it’s so painful and difficult to endure.
And yet, if you’re to ask yourself… if my daughter or son is put in this exact same position as me… what do I want to show them?
Because here’s the truth, if you succumb and don’t stand up for yourself.. your children will do exactly what you do.
Because children tend to do what they see, not what they hear.
So be the example for your kids… break the cycle.
I know it can be difficult. So I have a lot of free resources. You can check them out in the link below.

Or book a time with me. This can be a lonely journey, and yet, you don’t have to do it alone. Let’s do it together.
