Rebuilding Connection After Parenting Missteps

Parenting is a journey filled with love, challenges, and, inevitably, moments where we falter. Especially for parents of neurodivergent children or those with additional needs, the daily demands can be overwhelming. In these moments, we might react in ways that don't align with our intentions. But there's hope and healing in the concept of repair.​ In this blog I am going to share some of the theory around repair and then also talk about how we use this in our house.

This story isn’t a manual for wellness. It’s a personal reflection from a parent who’s walked through mental ill health and slowly, gently, found a way to a place of peace and hope.

Many people close to me have no idea how dark things got. But here I am, writing these words and proving that mental health is a journey.

Why I’m Sharing My Story

Maybe you’re in your own darkness. Feeling stuck. Isolated. Like there’s no way forward. I hope by sharing my story, there might be a piece of inspiration or connection that helps.

No one leaps into wellness. Recovery isn’t always big or dramatic. You take one small step. And when it feels okay, you take another.

Sometimes that’s just sitting quietly in the sun or reminding yourself your worth isn’t up for debate.
Sometimes it’s saying no. Or yes. Or simply, not now.
