Many adult survivors will reluctantly mail out a bland, clourless card to their mother or they may choke down brunch while trying not to gag over the falsehood of the appreciative gesture. While y’all are doing that I have chosen to pay homage to a different part of Mother’s Day. I have chosen to mark this day to celebrate Mom’s of Inner Children.
I am mother to my inner child/children and I think on this day I can try and regroup and think of ways I’ve nurtured them or assisted them with a positive outcome. I’d like to think about what I’ve done or haven’t done and what I hope to do in the future. I want to reflect on positives, negatives and neutral things and of course I want feedback from my little ones.
This will not be a day I beat myself up for failing as an inner parent, nope, it’s a day to embrace the fact that I get to put the safest hands on my inner self and nurture it the best I can. This is the day when I get to celebrate my own motherhood, my own ability to nurture and care for myself as an adult and my inner children.
For all of those who try to self nurture
Happy Mom’s of Inner Children Day
