You know, one thing my mom used to always say was if it would happen to anyone… it would happen to her daughter.
And OMG that has been proven true far too often for it to be a coincidence indeed!
What’s truly funny in such a superSad way… is when raising my kids, I had no idea I’m neuro-diverse. Like zero, zip, nada, anything at all.
I’ll use that as a preface to one of my fav animations, Disney’s The Owl House.
It truly is impossible to describe (and to wonder just why Disney canceled it after just 3 seasons defies reality).
Anywhos, the first 1/3 of season 3 just dropped…
and it revealed that the Mom of the main character never realized her daughter was ‘odd’ because the Mom had the exact same characteristics when growing up.
This hit me like a huuuuge gutpunch that is also quite indescribable as well.
All those years, if *only* I had known then, what I do now…
How different things be?
Honestly, I want to cry, I want to rage to the heavens, I want to know…
Why.
Why couldn’t I know then… what I do now.
And lookie there. I just repeated myself! 🙂
Your takeaway?
Be gentle with yourself.
Because you, more than anyone else…
Deserve it.
Enjoy!
