Feeling many common threads particularly within my journey of mothering my firstborn and remembering the awkwardness and anguish of not finding the nurturing blueprint within my cellular memory back in those early days. <br /><br />I've given myself many flagellating psychological wallops in the past 17 years about all the things I've done "wrong" to him and with him...lots of shame and sadness especially after reawakening my instincts with the last 3 babies and them having a different experience of my mothering. I've soothed these wounds of mine with him over the years through heartfelt apologies and acknowledgements of all that was missing and broken - feeling the need to repent, to carry that burden with a sense that this will somehow right the wrong. To my continued surprise, my beautiful young man has met each of my teary offerings with such a clear resolve of peaceful forgiveness and acceptance. Where I thought there might have be rage and pain there has instead only been love. It seems just in the acknowledgement, so much is put down and healed. And that our children are held by all the threads of our mothering- not just those ones that are loose or missing. What we miss in one corner, we often make up for in many others. <br /><br />We are still to travel the angst of his 20's but right now at nearly 18, I'm seeing him walk forth with all those experiences being grist for the mill that has formed and shaped who he is today and deep within I'm pondering the karmic unfolding of it all and the significance of him choosing me as his mother and those experiences as part of his learning and growing in this life. <br /><br />I'm also pondering how the "good / connected / conscious / attached" mothering model I've offered my last 3 babes may have disabled them in ways that my firstborn is strong, capable and independent and what "work" they might have to do for years to come to cultivate those aspects of their being. <br /><br />I wonder how many mothers and firstborns share a similar story and the soulcrafting purpose of this process for both beings. Feels a powerful place to sit and ponder some more.<br /><br />Much love to you dear womanMelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547320107547718248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102632058324118854.post-70957019803394493382017-08-07T12:03:27.613+10:002017-08-07T12:03:27.613+10:00Grateful for your words of witness.
