If your child wanted to live in a certain place, but you knew it would be bad for them in the long run, and this place made you miserable…

Would you stay for them? Seek stability elsewhere?

It’s really not one or the other. I would do whatever it took to create foundational stability, good health (emotional, physical, mental) and opportunities for them, but if the parent isn’t working on establishing foundational stability, good health (emotional, physical, mental) and opportunities for themselves then.. they can’t offer to the child what they don’t have. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m a pretty strong believer my kiddo’s wellbeing comes first and it’s my task to find/create my happiness within that.
