Whenever I have the opportunity to write about my healing journey, and how I am navigating my way through the pain of alienation, I get to see how far I have come. I have progressed from a very much ‘all or nothing’ mindset to one that allows me to identify my part in how my life has gone, and is going to go moving forward. In this way, I can grow and become a much more balanced version of myself – as a Mom, daughter, friend etc.
