self-neglect through a child's eye

Do you strive to be a "good" mother by being selfless and sacrificing your needs for the benefit of your child? Although the intention is pure, does this really benefit your child?

What usually happens is...your self-neglect becomes their responsibility. The burden is unintentionally placed on them to meet your emotional needs. 

Honouring your needs is not selfish...it is an act of self-preservation.

Your child's needs matter and are more likely to be truly honoured when you create space for your needs to be honoured too
