The Accidental Parent conversation

During the Accidental Parent conversation, I was asked to share my story and to answer a question that hit deep: How do you allow help when you don’t think you deserve it?

I paused, feeling the weight of it all, and explained how I had to let go—of the hurt, the pain, and every trespass against me. It wasn’t easy, but it was necessary.

Only then did the healing begin. I’m still a beautiful mess in progress, but I’ve learned to see the beauty within myself despite the chaos.

I hope that, in my vulnerability, they received me, and that my journey touched even one heart that needed to hear it. Healing is possible, even when you feel unworthy of it.
