I am the last person that should be preaching about family approval but in the last couple of months I have become the keeper of secrets and I don't know who knows what and what is allowed to be said and what's not common knowledge. I am not talking about keeping small secrets these are big ones and all of them have been kept because of fear of judgement from rest of family. (I have been in this position in the past and still hold way too much credit to what others m over my own good judgement)
This has got me thinking that it's not just me that worries what people think but shouldn't we be able to look for to our family for support and congratulations and not be scared of reactions. I feel great to know that people have been able to talk to me about it but now I am holding these secrets and can't be happy or supportive openly in front of rest of the family.
It's such a horrible feeling that we can't be honest and open with the family - I hope that I can keep this open communication with the family and me and foster this with my two girls so they don't ever have to feel this.
And to all those special people out there - congratulations on special times, we love all of you that are struggling no matter what has happening and I am here for anyone that wants a hug.
