Sometimes the loudest rebellion is kindness to yourself. You don’t need to shout, and you don’t need to fight. All it takes is a boundary.
When you change how you allow yourself to be treated, the right people adjust. The wrong ones fade away. And the ones who matter most learn to bring a dish, wash a plate, and ask how you are before they ask what’s for dinner.
And peace at home begins when you finally set the table for yourself.
