Thoughts...
What we have failed to see, besides the deception and lies, is how covering it all up has actually been worse than one imagined. Nobody speaks up on it. We walk around as if nothing happened, no one did anything wrong. The fact that we sit back and do nothing when we should do something, is (not) done for the same reason we believe in fictional heros. Someone with power will take care of it.

Moonlight
When I tell you, healing is a long and rough road, I'm not trying to paint you a picture of the peace it brings you after the fact. It is the hard truths about yourself that you must come to terms with so you can choose to break that pattern or not. It is the upsetting moments where you feel you broke something precious because you know that part of you hasn't healed yet. It gets scary to realize the patterns when you are amid something amazing. But you must choose to get out of the patterns that trauma has made comfortable for you; not that it has made you feel at ease, but it has taught you how to have yourself treated. A shame it is to go through hell and still feel like that is the normal, that it'll strike at any moment and you'll stand there and swear it was coming. But on the other side, how fortunate is it to find something amazing that really makes you dive deep and break those bonds to what helped you survive then.

Self Love For 'Devalued' Kids. Top Story - October 2021.
It's no secret that the early years of our lives shape who we become as adults. Isn't it frightening how so much of our childhood is out of our hands? A devalued kid is someone raised with little to no praise, validation, positivity, or acceptance. The result is things like poor self-esteem, passive-aggressive or avoidance behavior, and people-pleasing personalities. Such behaviors may have begun as survival or coping mechanisms. As grown-ups, it feels as if we left our parents' house and packed the wrong baggage. We've held onto the baggage for so long we don't how else to live. We don't know where or how to start building the right tools we need to let ourselves grow into our potential. Omar Hameed describes The Devalued Self in The Devalued Self: Childhood Emotional Abandonment, Devaluation of the Self, and Anxiety:
