The NO

   

Taking back The NO

that was stolen from me

probably around the age of 2 or 3

or maybe given away willingly

realizing that those on whom I was dependent

annoyed withdrew their love 

when they heard the child cry petulant 

thereby setting me up for a lifetime

   of people-pleasing behavior

A word learned early and the consequences thereof. Humans love control - they don't get much most years so kids comply OR ELSE. Cool topic - well said, well read - slc :D

Thank You allets:)

See that allowing a child space to practice creating boundaries in the safety of the family dynamic benefits ALL:)

This given the ideal purpose of Family is to nurture the individual in accordance to their true self
