First Timer :)

Hi everyone.

I’m new here and very grateful to be part of this group. There have already been quite a few tears on my end.

For the first time in a long time, I feel hope that my relationship with my youngest daughter might be restored. She is married with three young children of her own.

I’m working through the modules, and the journaling has been deeply therapeutic. Seeing my journey since the divorce written out has helped me view it through a different lens — not as the “terrible mom” I believed myself to be for years, but as someone who was in survival mode, as Catherine describes.

This process is also helping me see things about myself that I never fully understood before.

For the first time in a long time, I feel hopeful, and I’m grateful to be walking this path with all of you.
