Showing up for yourself time and time again is the least that you can do for your long-term emotional health. 

Don't haunt yourself with abandonment or self-neglect! Take time this week to show up for yourself authentically and with purpose.

Embrace the opportunity to connect with your own thoughts, feelings, and desires. It's time to listen to that inner voice and give it the attention it deserves.

It is so important to embrace a level of empathy and self-awareness in terms of self-responsibility.

What are we really responsible for?
What's within our power and what isn't?
And what can we change, and what can we not change?
How can we be mindful of all of this in our circumstances?

Proceed with no blame and no shame. Work together, mother and adult daughter, to move forward into a better relationship.
