When I think I want to have children in the future, I always have this very strong condition

Keywords: break up , heart broke , love , relationship , relationships , to truly love someone , true love

I won’t ever have children until I can find someone with whom I’m sure I can create a healthy environment for my children to grow. To truly love someone, from a healthy love I hope to build with time, is a sinequanone condition to me.

I wanted so desperately for my kids to be safe and happy, that I oftentimes didn’t allow them to fall and pick themselves back up

Expectations- we all have dreams for our kids but those dreams should never interfere with what our kids actually want. Encouragement is necessary and beneficial but expectation is toxic and dangerous. We should not be “living through” our kids, we should be sharing the experiences and life they choose. Expecting our kids to have a particular education, a certain job, earn a certain amount of money, be a particular sexual orientation or live a life you deem worthy is not unconditional love. Being embarrassed or ashamed of our kids if they are struggling in life, is more a reflection on our own lack than it is on our kids. I want to know my kids struggles so I can support them and we can work together for the healthiest outcome. My kids know there is nothing they cannot tell me, I will never judge them. If you can’t accept that your child will be their own person, suffer struggles and make mistakes or choose a lifestyle that makes them happy, rather then fitting into your mould- perhaps parenthood is not for you.

I am a Diné woman in her early thirties, I have two daughters, I cherish my family time, and am currently enrolled at Diné College. I enjoy making videos, photography, doing blogs, drawing, and sometimes painting. I really enjoy Native American creation stories, books, and art. I enjoy sharing experiences, laughing together, and learning about the similarities I share with other five fingered beings.

I want to understand the abuse and trauma from their point of view and forgive it from my point of view

Keywords: {0}

I just need one sentence to describe my family. They all need to go to therapy. In between all the showers of love and adoration I received in my childhood, there was a lot of their self-baggage inflicted upon me. It led to years of unintended abuse, trauma and neglect from their part. It started to build my anxiety and depression.

Theo did not like it at first. The coffee grinder is loud and frightening to him, unless Mama holds him. He does not want to be on the floor while Mama tends to the electric kettle, which is far too interesting for him to not watch up close himself. What’s more, the coffee grounds smell so good, and look like dirt. He wants to feel that for himself too, and he loves to grab the spoon Mama uses to remove the grounds from the grinder, spilling them on the counter. Mama sighs, but Theo finds it so enthralling.

I wanted my son to know he would never be restricted by anything, and I would be there for him no matter where his adventures took him

I am by no means a fantastic artist, but I pulled from the hours of hanging with my grandmother and have created an “Adventure Awaits” painting every year since. My grandmother created many amazing paintings throughout her life and seeing them means everything to me, especially now that she is no longer with us. I am hopeful the paintings I create will hold a special place in my son’s heart.
