I was raised Christian and have kept many of the values I was taught including love, faith and hope. The bible provides a wealth of wisdom for me (as do other books) ✝️
That being said I also carry significant generational trauma from my parents and their parents. My mom wasn’t allowed to do the things she wanted to 😶
She could only marry within her own church, which quite frankly amounts to a sect in my eyes. She wasn’t allowed to grow and study anything beyond cleaning and cooking. And let me tell you she is absolutely terrible at both and has trauma surrounding both 😵💫
It’s so sad to see her still struggle with self esteem to this day. It’s like her flame was extinguished. She tries, and sometimes succeeds, which has shaped my sister and me to become who we are today. But it’s clear that she just can’t overcome it for herself 🥺
Honestly it’s just golden calves recast as golden crosses 🤔
