When I think of myself as a child and the dynamics that played out in our home. I remember I use to spend hours hiding from my mother under the house! (Queensland homes were built on little stilts.)
And no we weren’t playing hide and seek!
I was terrified of her cruelness and lion taming ability with an electric cord…me playing the part of the cowardly lion…
As I grew up I went hiding from her to spend hours at the pool, a place I loved and adored and had so much fun and play there that I still dream of it.
So each day I would go from living in fear to having the most amazing fun and freedom.
