RE: Daily prompt: I don't want criticism

I think it's a reflection of how their own inner critic works. Sometimes people who are harsh with themselves use the same tactics with loved ones. They don't even know they're doing anything wrong. It's like they're programmed that way. My gran was like that and so is my aunt (my mother's sister) so it's like a generational trauma passed down from one generation to the next. I can't change my mom but I can check myself and make sure I don't make my children feel this way. We are a generation of cycle-breakers <3
