by Pam Hernandez | Aug 23, 2022 | Compassion, Daughters, Fathers, Mothers, Personal Growth, Self Acceptance, Well-being

Growing up, I received the message quite early and quite often that feeling sorry for myself was not appropriate. I got this message at home and school, and I’m sure I wasn’t alone. When I was in middle school and complaining about something (probably about thinking I...
