Me @ismeris 8 years old

Greetings dear fellow @galenkp here my answer, to such an interesting topic as it is the differences of each individual.

Once in life, I felt different, when I was a child, between 6 and 9 years old, until that time I was a confident and cheerful child, with a beautiful family, mom, dad and six siblings.

But everything changed when my older brother let my dad down by refusing to study what he wanted, instead, my brother decided to go live with his girlfriend, this infuriated my father so much that he decided to leave us, his departure affected us too much, especially my mom, who fell into great sadness, I also felt devastated, just like my siblings.

It was then when I began to feel low self-esteem, as never before, I felt ugly, especially because of my curly or bad hair, plus the boyish haircut they gave me, at school, the kids made fun of me, I cried for many years because of that, I felt alone and unprotected.

With time, I managed to overcome the absence of my father, I understood that he would not return and that I had to move forward, I also had to help my mother to move forward, so I decided not to cry anymore, I took new strength, thank God, and everything changed.

Today strong as my hair

I got to the point of being respected at school and everywhere, I never again allowed anything or anyone to affect me, today, I teach that same thing to my children, to not allow anything to stop them or make them feel less.

Today I understood that the blows are our best teacher.

Thanks for the proposal, see you next time.

Thank you...
That's right my beautiful friend @angeluxx you could say in this case, what doesn't kill you makes you fatter 😁.
No, that's not it, it's like this, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger 💪.

Excellent teaching. I think that life's contingencies—seeing obstacles as challenges to overcome rather than problems—are what truly enhance our psychological growth and personality development.

There’s a famous parable about a boy who came across a chrysalis from which a butterfly was almost fully emerged. Its wings were already out, and the nearly-formed butterfly was struggling to break free. Feeling pity, the boy "helped" it by tearing open the chrysalis. But afterward, the butterfly repeatedly tried to fly and failed, eventually collapsing weakly to the ground... It was precisely that struggle against adversity, against its confinement, that was necessary for its wings to gain the strength needed to fly.

A powerful lesson: We should guide our children in learning from life’s everyday challenges, but never do everything for them. They must develop skills and inner resilience to become successful adults, equipped to face inevitable hardships—because difficulties are an inescapable part of life. Yet despite them, we can still be happy and valuable human beings.

Thank you for your post and your beautiful message!!!

Thank you very much for your words and good advice.
The truth is, I didn't know that parable, but it has been very helpful.
Sometimes, it is necessary to let children go through experiences that strengthen them, even if it costs me, I do not want them to suffer what I suffered, but my intention has always been to teach them to be stronger every day.

I also appreciate this opportunity to express things that sometimes we carry deep inside us, it is necessary to talk about them, because they remind us that we cannot go back, for any reason, we can only move forward, learn and grow.

It's a moving story, and many times when we're children, we think it's our fault. My father also left home. I always believed it was my fault and that of my siblings. We grew up watching our mother suffer. Over the years, we've come to understand many things. Sometimes children have nothing to do with adult responsibilities. When we're adults, we understand that sometimes things happen for a reason. I understand my father, not the fact that he wasn't looking out for us, but I understand that he was a problematic person, and it was better for him to leave than to live with us tormenting ourselves.

You reminded me of this situation. I'm glad you've overcome it.

Thank you very much friend @katriel1 For your words, you are absolutely right, as a child we do not know the reason for things, but everything is clearer as we grow up, and as you say there are times when it is better what happens, God knows the reason for everything.

Thank God you also overcame it and today you are standing strong.

Thank you for your time and words, blessings to you and the family 🙏.

Life is full of changes that affect our emotions and can even change us psychologically. But we must take care of our image and maintain our self-esteem to avoid decline. Being different also involves self-love and paying attention to our body and spirit. @ismeris

Indeed so it is my friend @nachomolina2 we must change in every way and be better every day, without anything or anyone to make us doubt who we are, and if you are blessed to find a partner who loves you more, as we are, as is my case, who love me today more than yesterday.
So there is no power that can make you lower your head anymore.
After my childhood, which one does not depend on oneself, when I took the reins of my life, I had great admiration from everyone, those who one day spoke ill of me, had nothing left but to admire me.
Thank you very much for your time.

It is unfortunate what happens in the family environment, the idea is that these problems do not harm us. I'm glad you recovered and everything got better.

That's right dear friend @mariiale1979 there are times when there are only lessons to be learned very well.
And the only thing left to be thankful for is adversity, that gives us an edge.
