"There is an expiry date on blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction; the moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you." JK Rowling
It sounds obvious but many people still (even in their 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond) say "if only" as if they didn't have a chance.
Yes, our early years are especially formative and it takes effort and discipline to overcome setbacks. But the alternative is prolonging that misery.
So take charge.
What three things would you like to rewrite from your childhood (traumas you wished hadn't happened, things you wish your parents had encouraged, support in a particular area...):
1)
2)
3)
Bearing in mind that we can't turn back time, how can you start giving yourself the support / protection / guidance you've been longing for?
What can you start doing differently right now?
Taking responsibility is scary but it'll be worth it.
