People do me wrong and I cover for them hoping that no one else saw how it really went down. I had it all wrong everyone saw they were waiting for me to respond.
Uhm. It’s like a version of me Writing for me To read. Whew!! I often think we are guided to those that are experiencing or have experienced the same things in life that we are to experience. Thank you for sharing.
Andddd my nickname could’ve been Jacquie if my name wasn’t changed.
To know that my words resonate as a mirror back to you as you read this piece is a top-tier compliment. Thank you, Trish! I couldn't agree more that we are guided by others who can inspire our experiences and that better days are ahead. I'm really glad this piece found you in the right moment.
You know getting past publishing THAT line was a lot of healing for me because I've carried the guilt of being triggered by her support. Now I realize there is no guilt for me to carry, like with friends the support people give me is what they give but I know when I am deserving of more than what is offered. And I believe this is why navigating her support triggered me.
I feel you on the Mama issues. My mother is still alive but I call myself an orphan since my Daddy died. Sometimes you can salvage the toxic relationships with accountability and sometimes you gotta save yourself and cut da cord.
I pray you find and maintain your peace in the storm.
Release the fetters and don’t be afraid of the feathers 🫶🏽
I pray I find and maintain my peace too, the craziest part is I HAD my peace and within a couple of days, it was disrupted. Maybe I should look at my acceptance of the toxicity in the relationship dynamic at times to help me with grace.
Whew Jacquie there were so many things I resonated with in this piece!! The vulnerability you've been showing in the last few writing has been heartwarming and the flow of it all is so enjoyable. Thank you for sharing 🤍
Ah girl this warms my heart! I love it when we show up and find we have the whole gang waiting on us to pull up! Thank you for being at the spot when I pulled up!
I felt this whole thing. Ohhh especially when you said you require a certain protection that a person can’t provide and that rich man money is about having freedom and not a certain amount of money 💰 🔥🔥
This lands me deep in thought about the triggered codependent relationship with my son. Sometimes self-awareness steps up and slaps you intge face. I am prepared to look within to see where I could have done better, which would actually be doing less.
Whew, Victoria, I’m sorry you have to even treat a Black mother wound. I wish for those of us who have to heal one to have an abundance of grace for ourselves and our mothers. The more we heal, we heal them but the relationship takes effort on both sides I’m learning.
most definitely! It’s a journey, and definitely not an easy one. I just feel blessed that it’ll end with me because I’m more than willing to do the work

word!
"...my mother has been my biggest trigger but also my greatest supporter it’s kind of difficult to navigate."
Reading about you and your mother reminds me of what I'm going through with mine. I felt every word of this.

this is the line that deeply resonated with me also. Sending grace to us xo
Yes! Sending us all so much grace with this one!

“blessed, it’ll end with me.”
I felt that because I have a daughter and she is proof that it ended with me. Wow! That made me emotional.
Wow, wow, wow!
You are incredibly gifted and I loved the journey you took us on.
