Ive been holding on to this thought for three days now. A woman has got to love a bad man once or twice in her life to be thankful for a good one. I posted that quote the other day and was challenged. I completely agree with the argument that you shouldnt have to be treated badly to appreciate the good in someone. However, what some fail to realize is that children mock the behavior that they see. For years, your parents/caregivers are your only teachers. I love my parents dearly. However, they didnt have the best relationship. The only example I had of love was toxic! (Dont get confused. They showed ME love just fine. It was the love they showed each other.) Naturally, little girls mock their mothers, while boys mock their fathers. My mother didnt get the heart to leave my father until I was nine. My father, again, whom I love dearly and in no way, shape, form, or fashion am I degrading, was my only example of how a man should behave in a relationship. My parents were never married. There were no other men in my life. Based on my childhood experiences, I made choices in men that fit a certain bill, because thats all I knew!!! Its hard to distinguish between qualities that youre not familiar with. And in order to appreciate, and even recognize, a good man, you have to first realize that youve fallen into a pattern. From there, you have to decide to break the cycle. You have to get the courage to be alone, find yourself, accept who are, what youve experienced, and your worth. And until you can, you will forever be with a bad man, per se, because you have no idea what a good man is. (This can also be a mans position as well.) #NoDisrespectToMyParents #CycleBroken #EnoughIsEnough #MyChildrenWillBeBetterMenAndWomen #iLoveMyParentsForWhatTheyTaughtMe #iLoveMyExesForTheLessons
