There’s a line that shouldn’t be crossed. Using a child to carry your version of the past.
Adult issues belong with adults.
Not in texts. Not in conversations. Not placed on a child’s shoulders to sort through.
We don’t involve kids in conflict.
We don’t rewrite history through them.
And we don’t ask them to choose sides just to feel validated, especially our past.
But let’s be clear—
choosing not to engage doesn’t mean we don’t see it! We see everything because we choose to. We care & pay attention.
It means we value their peace more than our pride.
So we stay steady.
We stay consistent.
We give them something solid to stand on when everything else feels confusing.
We answer when it’s appropriate.
We guide without overwhelming.
And we love them without conditions or agendas.
Because when a child isn’t getting the relationship they deserve from one place,
they shouldn’t have to question it everywhere else too.
They need one place that feels safe.
One place that feels calm.
One place that isn’t trying to pull them in opposite directions.
Not from who said more.
Not from who tried harder to be heard.
But from who showed up for them without dragging them into the storm!
