“I’ve spent my whole life with people leaving me,” she said and I could see what she meant. As all this came out she began to see that I was the person who hadn’t left her, who loved her enough to stay, no matter what. No matter how hard we try to give them stability and a solid base, once they reach teens there are other influences in their lives. As parents we can only do our best – and keep on loving them, no matter what. Some of us are able to talk about the past and move on with our lives in that way, whilst some of us cope by keeping it locked away. And I’ve learned over the years that whatever works for each one of us is fine, because in the end we are all fellow survivors and that’s what’s really important. Don’t suffer in silence. If I can begin life the way I did and get through and come out at the end with a wonderful loving family, then so can you. Don’t be afraid to live and be loved. Be a Victor and not a Victim for you are not alone. -Excerpts from Jenny Tomilin’s “Not Alone” |
