Parent Yourself Quotes

“Every good enough mother teaches her child that no matter how bad it seems- no matter how many rejections or scraped knees or broken bones there are- it is going to be okay. Maybe not the way we wanted or hoped it would be, but still okay. A good parent returns a child to the place where she can trust that although she might be bitter or hateful for a moment, it's not the end of the world. There is love here. There is light and quiet here. There is peace.”
― Geneen Roth, This Messy Magnificent Life: A Field Guide

“Regardless of what your parents did to wound you, at some point you have to take responsibility for your life and parent yourself the way you want to be parented!”
― Curtis Tyrone Jones
