This is lovely and it's pretty much my story too. We have to be patient with ourselves don't we? I'm 67 and only just beginning to understand how my childhood has impacted on my entire life. As you say, just one small change a day all adds up to bigger changes going forward. There's comfort in knowing we're not alone 🥰
