Trust us: #parenthood is a minefield. While you're celebrating Mothers Day tomorrow, spare a thought for those who would rather not think about it at all, or for those who will be grieving. Sending love to anyone who struggles on #MothersDay, for whatever reason.

When someone says “Your parents did the best they could” they are revealing: -Lack of self-awareness/exposure to childhood trauma. -Lack of self-awareness/exposure to trauma informed language. -Shame based/toxic positive language. -Lack of empathy, compassion, education.

Maybe you’re not difficult. Maybe you’re just setting boundaries, taking your needs seriously, and refusing to accept dysfunction.

Sarah Wirth writes in KIUW: Bodies, Uncensored about their studies in social science helped them make the connection between their eating disorder and 'systems of oppression' like fatphobia, transphobia, or racism, and how that last piece of the puzzle aided their recovery.

so many books to celebrate this year 🌈 epicreads.com/blog/ya-lgbtq-…
