Little girls believe in fairytales. We are told magnificent stories at very young ages of princes and castles and knights in shining armor. Based in these tales we dream of prefect men. Men who have endless riches. Men who sweep us off our feet and give us the world.
Little boys are told stories of building armies and ruling nations. They are wired to conquer. Little boys are provided an unspoken sense of support and encouraged to "chase" tail without reservation.
Little girls who become mothers of these sons close their eyes. These women clinch their pain and somehow medicate themselves with the pain of their sisters. This behavior is justified by "stinking thinking." Somehow witnessing the mistreatment of another, makes one feel that they are "not alone." In other words, misery loves company.
This is real and this syndrome has been labeled the "Macho Paradox."
So to all my beautiful, innocent and trusting little girls I implore you to look for the "Love Forever After" and it is there that you will find your Happy!
Find that one that puts you first no matter what. It's not a struggle. It's not a contest. It's a life choice. ❤️
