Parenting revealed parts of me I thought I’d outgrown. Rage. Reactivity. Shame. I used to think that yelling made me a bad mom. But over time, I’ve learned that rupture followed by repair can be just as powerful as getting it "right" the first time. What you wrote here reminds me that self-compassion isn’t a loophole, it’s the path. Thank you for your honesty and wisdom.
