A single mother struggles to trust her partner's support even though he helps with finances and logistics. Years of providing for herself and her kids left her in survival mode, and that mental weight lingers despite his practical help.
Survival mode, but you married. He took you out of survival mode, but not— hold on, because listen, I'm asking the question. So he took you out of survival mode, but not mentally. So you saying, so is it like when you're in survival mode, not mentally, is it like still not a trusting there?
Okay, so here's the thing. Because like if it's still— When you have prior relationships to the one you in, there's no such thing as it's too good to be true. I have had failed before him. So being a mother, I have always been— I was a single mother for a long time. I have my kids, so I can't just— I never could sit back and say, oh, I have somebody to take care of me.
Wow. Wow. Let's just— let's just give me a second. Let me process that. Let me process that.
Okay, he's a provider. I have to make a way to make sure— what if he's not a provider? Who's gonna cover my kids? So instead of trying to control hold me and keep me founded, help me bounce again. I'm not going— I'm not— what you doing with a bird when you lock it in the cage? What happened to the damn bird? They go crazy, right? So at the end of the day, I'm gonna always be in survival mode because I'm a mother.
