You’ve outgrown the version of you who lived on adrenaline, approval, and pretending. You’ve spent years managing everyone else’s emotions, fixing problems that weren’t yours, holding the peace at your own expense, and losing yourself in patterns you didn’t consciously choose. You woke up — not suddenly, but slowly…over years of resentment, overthinking, emotional exhaustion, and the realization that you can’t keep raising kids in a home that runs on tension and reactivity. Now you’re here: in the after.  The chapter where the truth is out, the old patterns don’t fit, and the new way of living feels unfamiliar, fragile, and overwhelming. You’re not trying to “find yourself.” You’re trying to become the version of you who doesn’t people-please, over-function, spiral, shut down, explode, or revert into someone she doesn’t recognize.
