They Gave What They Knew

Our parents could only give us what they knew.
We can’t expect them to give us something they never learned themselves.
No parent can meet all of our expectations.

Yes, some of our pain comes from childhood.
But often, it’s because our parents were hurting too.

When we can see them clearly,
it’s easier to feel compassion.
And with that compassion, we can start to let go.
That’s when we can finally be free,
free from the chain.
