“Let Them” Author: Cassie Phillips

Just Let them.
If they want to choose something or someone over you, LET THEM.
If they want to go weeks without talking to you, LET THEM.
If they are okay with never seeing you, LET THEM.
If they are okay with always putting themselves first, LET THEM.
If they are showing you who they are and not what you perceived them to be, LET THEM.
If they want to follow the crowd, LET THEM.
If they want to judge or misunderstand you, LET THEM.
If they act like they can live without you, LET THEM.
If they want to walk out of your life and leave,
hold the door open, AND LET THEM.
Let them lose you.
You were never theirs, because you were always your own.
So let them.
Let them show you who they truly are, not tell you.
Let them prove how worthy they are of your time.
Let them make the necessary steps to be a part of your life.
Let them earn your forgiveness.
Let them call you to talk about ordinary things.
Let them take you out on a Thursday.
Let them talk about anything and everything just because it’s you they are talking to.
Let them have a safe place in you.
Let them see the heart in you that didn’t harden.
Let them love you.

Children may try to split their parents after a divorce as a way to cope with the intense emotions and confusion they may be feeling. Splitting allows them to simplify their complex feelings by categorizing one parent as all good and the other as all bad. This can provide a sense of stability and control in a situation that feels chaotic and overwhelming.

Additionally, children may feel pressured to choose sides or may be influenced by the behavior and attitudes of one parent towards the other. They may also fear losing the love and approval of one parent if they show affection towards the other.

It’s important for parents to recognize these behaviors and work towards fostering a healthy relationship between their child and BOTH parents. Here’s are some of the ways:

🗣️promote open communication
👍support independent relationships with each parent
✋set boundaries
👩‍💻seek professional help

Ultimately, children need love, support, connection and consistency from both parents to navigate the challenges of divorce in a healthy way.

April 10 means today is National Erase Self-Negativity Day. We are spending the day encouraging everyone to take steps toward erasing the influence negative self-talk has on our lives. It’s also a day where we will focus on changing this negative habit into a time of personal empowerment.

Moving forward without receiving an apology can be challenging, but it’s possible. Focus on understanding your own feelings, setting boundaries, and prioritizing your own growth and well-being. Forgiveness doesn’t always require an apology from the other person; sometimes, it’s about releasing the resentment and finding peace within yourself.

Even when you experience failure or setbacks, it’s important to learn from the experience rather than dwelling on the loss itself.

Use the time for reflection and growth from mistakes or failures, turning them into valuable learning opportunities for the future.
