“Healing looks different for everyone”
Breaking up with someone you had a child with is not the easiest thing to do. I recently sat down with two amazing women Kamesha and Davika, who, like myself, have made the separation between themselves and their child’s father. One had infidelity in their relationship, and the other came from a physically abusive relationship. Together we were able to share our healing process openly.
Although we had different stories and circumstances, we did share something special and important in common. Our healing process started from within. We all went on a journey of rediscovering who we are. Unlike myself, Davika and Kamesha both invested in counselling/therapy, which is amazing. Investing in professional support is something that I wish I had considered for myself at the time. Throughout our discussion, we talked about redefining our goals and values. We discussed refocusing our life around what was important to us. We also shared how we had to take a step back to see how we wanted our life to look.
Focusing on our goals and our values allowed us to understand and reclaim our self-worth. I enjoyed the conversation that we had. Healing indeed looks different for everyone; through our discussion, we were able to learn and grow from each other’s takeaways based on our individual experiences.
