I deeply resonate with your words for so many reasons. Thank you for such a beautiful reflection on parenthood and childhood and how it shapes adulthood and raising our babies, for better or worse but hopefully for the better because we get to parent, better ❤️

Beautifully written, Megan. Thank you for sharing the peacemaker role. The roles that we play in our families shape how we show up for ourselves and our children. So happy to see you reparent yourself as you raise your daughter. Highly recommend you check Sabba Khan’s graphic novel “The Roles We Play”.

Bo! Thank you for the comment and the recommendation - I'm putting it on my TBR. It's really wild when you actually step back and realize all the ways you were made to shapeshift, convincing yourself that it was the norm.
