i do. now what?

I wasn’t taught how to recover from the experiences that starved my heart from its ability to trust the nourishing love my husband offered. Instead, I read the room of my childhood environments and allowed it to teach me. What lesson did I learn? Do not allow anyone to get within striking distance to cause my heart any more pain than it’s already experienced. Like many of my peers, I was unintentionally raised by a culture that celebrates detrimental independence. Purposely though, I was taught that to need or to rely on anyone was a weakness.
