.. To the moms and dads who had to make the hardest decisions of there life.... Who carry heartbreak and hope in the same breath. This is for the ones who had to let someone else raise their child.
Not because they didn't love them, but because life at the time made it impossible to give them what they deserved. You let go and gave them a chance at life . Whether it was addiction, homelessness, mental health, or just not being stable. You did what you thought was best for your child even though it broke your heart. But you refused to pull them down with you.
You think about them every.. single.. day...you wonder if there okay. If they know you love them. If one day they'll understand you didn't give up, you sacrificed.
And to all the "karens", and perfect parents who love to judge, I don't care anymore.. until you've lived this pain, this heart ache, your opinion or view of me means nothing.
I have made peace with my past. I'm not ashamed anymore. And im not looking for pitty I'm healing. And I am darn proud of the woman I'm becoming... I've walked through h!!! and came out stronger, and full of fire.. This is my truth, and I will never hide it again...
