“It’s okay if you won’t fight for me. I will.” -Chloë Frayne
Sometimes – too often really – those of us with complex/developmental trauma find ourselves feeling more alone the more we heal and grow.
Despite the presence even of a partner or friends or family – the patterns in these relationships remain so much like they have since the beginning of our lives.
Once we are able to grasp that our longings to be seen, comforted, supported, protected are normal and human and fully reasonable – we are faced with the challenge of requesting those close to us to grow with us OR deciding to grow despite them.
These moments – choosing to champion ourselves – to become our own security – are courageous but can also be enormously heartbreaking if those around us choose otherwise. 
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experience with this!
