When You Finally See The Truth

that the person who hurt you is emotionally stuck at 3 or 4 years old — everything changes.

You stop expecting them to act like an adult, to love you the way you always needed. You see their tantrums, their lies, their blame-shifting... and instead of feeling shattered, you feel compassion.

It’s like watching a child throw a fit because they missed their nap. You realize: It was never about you.

Healing starts when you stop fighting to be seen by someone who was never capable of seeing you.
