Do I abandon everyone's expectations of me and honor myself or do I continue to honor everyone's expectations of me and abandon myself, right? It felt like a life or death situation for me. And as you know, I almost decided to go back to my broken life so that I didn't have to rock the boat.

But I had this moment with Tish where I looked at her and I thought, oh my God, I'm staying in this marriage for her. But would I want this marriage for her? And if I would not want this marriage for my little girl, then why am I modeling bad love in an unbrave life and abandoning self and calling that good parenting? Calling that good parenting. And the reason for that was very clear.

The reason for that is that I was taught, trained, conditioned to believe that a good mother, that good parenting is abandoning yourself, right? It's just burying your needs, your dreams, your ambition, your true feelings, all of it, and calling that love. Yeah. Being a martyr.

And then we wonder why we don't know how to get our needs met, why we don't know who ourselves are. It's because it's not our fault. I mean, it's our responsibility to figure out, but it's not our fault. It's been held up to us as the epitome of womanhood is selflessness. Like, imagine that. Think about that.

That is just, I feel so strongly that in listening to women for so long that the way to speak to a woman is to appeal to her need to love well. Women want to love well.
