On the whole, despite attempts at reconciliation that I’ve made, I have to accept that my son is alienated, estranged and that I don’t have control over this reality.
Beyond this acceptance, I have to choose what I do with this reality. Live or die? If I choose to live, how do I want to live? This is where empowerment comes in.
I can choose to live my best life possible. When I choose to do this, I betray no one and honor myself, which I deserve.
We all deserve to honor ourselves and our lives with self-compassion and love regardless of the circumstances in our lives.
