Hello dear fathers and mothers of this wonderful home, I want to tell you about an epiphany, or well I don't know if I should call it that haha, but I discovered something in me that I want to share and see if it only happens to me or if it has happened to you.

I have mentioned in several of my previous posts, that when I found out about my pregnancy, I decided, to heal many things in me in order to be and give the best of me as a mom, I certainly had many wounds that I did not want my daughter to carry or to repeat a cycle, so I started a difficult journey, that only I know, how to forgive my parents, forgive myself, set limits and start being a new me, maybe not new, just improved hehe, then since Luna was born I have been in a process of breaking cycles, apply healthy, respectful and positive parenting techniques, which ultimately most of it was and is to manage my own emotions before the adversities of motherhood.
Everything has been fine so far, it is not easy, we know that, but I have been satisfied with being myself, studying, learning, making mistakes and making amends, I am not perfect and never will be, but I feel good that I have given the best of me and see the fruits in the same Moon, of course, sometimes doubts arise, if I do it right, if this will bring repercussions in the future, some guilt, I think it is normal, we can only continue giving the best with what we have and look a little more if time permits.

The day before yesterday Luna wrote the letter to Santa and put it on the Christmas tree, yesterday she woke up and the first thing she said was: did Santa take the letter? I had forgotten to pick up the letter, so I told her to go to the bathroom first, and then we will check if he took it haha, so I ran to get the letter and hide it, I started to make breakfast as if nothing happened, she came out of the bathroom, ran to the tree to look, and I followed her to see her reaction, It was so beautiful to see her happy because Santa took the letter, I kept looking at her excited about a while, that's when I felt something different in me, something very personal, I didn't know how to describe it, but there was that strange feeling in my chest, I spent the day like that, I got ready to continue with my obligations.
! Oh, I should mention that I had a little argument with my mom, because when she feels lonely I invite her to my house, I take care of her, I take care of her in Luna's room I put on her favorite Narcs series haha and all that, so that she feels as comfortable as possible, then Luna comes home from school and everything is normal, But then I had to set some limits for Luna and she starts crying because she knows that her grandmother saves her and spoils her haha, but her grandmother, since she is in my house, knows that she also has limits to respect, so the next thing she does is to leave my house without saying goodbye, she leaves upset, she just leaves and that's it. I don't like that, she has done it to me twice, because I lovingly postpone some things to be here for her and make her feel comfortable and accompanied, as she can't intervene in my upbringing, she just leaves. Anyway, yesterday she wrote me to come to my house again and there I thought for my mental health to express my feelings: I told her that I dislike her very much and it is very bad manners to leave in that way when I open the doors of my house, I attend her with love and she treats me in that way, that if she is going to come again I will not tolerate her leaving again like that, without any explanation, because I have done nothing wrong to her.

To which she responds that I should calm down her outbursts because she is an old lady and she is my mom, that she is not going to change at this point, also adding all that she has helped me, obviously to make me feel like I owe her an infinite debt, obviously to make me accept all her "outbursts" as she says. Hearing that was worse haha, again for mental health, I choose not to wear myself out emotionally in an argument that I know I won't win, I choose to just focus on my actions and others will see what they do, it all ends there.
So going back to Luna's emotion because Santa took her letter and what I felt, together with what had happened with my mom, I took my time alone to explore what I was feeling, analyze it calmly, with compassion, I managed to discover something incredible that gave me a mixture of sadness and immense happiness, I visualized my own inner child, her childhood, the things she lived and when my mom says things that hurt nowadays that child comes out to remind me that she is still there inside of me; but then to see my daughter, having such a different childhood, so full of illusion, so loved, so supported by her mom in whatever she wants to do, karate or chorus girl or just being herself, my inner child felt incredibly happy, the truth is that I had not realized that I am doing things differently, that I am healing my childhood, the feeling is so strong and I write this with tears in my eyes, I feel immensely happy at this moment, because even though my childhood was not beautiful, I am giving happy moments to another childhood and that makes me feel proud of myself.
First time I feel this, and is that of course, my memories of my childhood come from the age of Luna, at this time that girl who tells me mom I can be me, being happy, and I clarify this in case it is misunderstood, I do not put my luggage to my daughter, because it does not correspond to her, this is only mine, but the truth is that seeing her childhood automatically heals mine and it is really beautiful, incredible, I have no words.
