"You learn to survive on crumbs..." vs "You are inherently worthy of a full meal" 💟

You can also have a Father Wound if you actually had a present, loving, warm, playful and protective father, who suddenly died when you were only 6 years old. But no one ever talks about that.

having a father wound also makes one less assertive around men. it also makes oneself difficult to communicate with men in general 🙏

When you become aware about your father wound and you understand why you felt so much pain when you were ghosted or breadcrumbed it is like an awakening. I believe I´ve already changed this pattern because I am not attracted to emotionally unavailable people anymore. I will definetely read your book about father wound. Thank you Terri, this is so helpful!

The "solution" IMO isn't about setting standard or leaving the relationship but to learn TO BE WITH the experience of abandonment and not being enough. In other words, to pay attention to the wound, heal the wound by embracing it, and THEN the relationship will naturally fall away, or transform. If you start by pushing away the relationship, you may accidentally retraumatize yourself. Your partner is there to reveal your wounds to you and they will continue to do so until you see it, be with it, and heal it. Just choosing a different partner hasn't worked for me, because you carry the same wound into the next relationship.

i was scared of authority too, my father wasn't the angry authoritarian type, but he always sided with mum no matter how ridiculous she was being, so i associated authority with the risk of injustices. I think.

What does consistent mean in a relationship? What is a crumb vs the whole meal or something in between? For someone who grew up with emotional neglect from parents and was in an emotionally empty marriage, I wouldn’t know what to except or not. When you’re emotionally neglected and attention feels like the meal.

Breadcrumbs are too familiar. Thought I got past it… and feeling confused that I may be in it AGAIN! <br>There’s shame and how many times can I fall into the same hole? 🕳️ <br>I’d love to have the courage to end it. Truly. So i guess awareness is the first step.
