For anyone who had a stable, calm home growing up...

..How did that calm or loving environment shape or help you now as an adult?

I'm trying to do a new activity of REPARENTING yourself, and it's very hard to imagine life with love, support or safety.

I’ll have to think about this awhile. I know I did. But not sure what the secret was.

@4thdimensiondream You're home was calm or loving? That's really nice👍 Did it help you feel a sense of self as you grew up...self trust or a feeling of life could be joyous ?

@Baybreeze it really did. But it didn’t seem usually or anything to me. We weren’t overly emotional but you felt the love. I do believe it helped me be a good parent and grandparent. I think it’s sad not everyone grows up feeling that way. “Love” is the key.
