Don’t Lean On Your Child

Emotional Incest Robs Them of Life

---

Children are just what they are
Children
Their thoughts, words and actions
Reflect ours 

No matter where they go
No matter what they learn 
That tiny nod from us
It’s inbuilt in them to seek
And treasure 

Let them live 
As they are meant to be
Don’t feed them bullshit 
Just because you are lonely 

Don’t lean on them for your happiness
Don’t make them your spouses 
Just because they are still yours today
Don’t expect them to be yours always 

Let them be 
As they are meant to be 
Enjoy their presence in your life
Remind yourself that they are gift from heaven 
From God himself for your joyful expression

Don’t martyr them to be yours alone
They are just children 
They need a life of their own 
They need to go to college 
They need to fall in love
They need to marry whoever they want to give their soul to
Don’t feed them bullshit 
In the name of advice 
And let them frame their spouses as their adversaries instead 

Children are children 
They are a gift from heaven 
Enjoy them
Nurture them 
Teach them wisdom 

Don’t take away their peace 
Their joy 
Their life 
Because your spouse isn’t yours as you wanted 

Don’t steal away their pleasure
Don’t steal away their joys
Don’t steal away their life
Let them be as they were meant to be

Independent people
Strong willed
Friendly 
Helpful
Kind
Understanding 
And full of empathy

 Peace ✌🏽
