Mother Wound As Early Blueprint
- The mother wound is beliefs and patterns from early mother-child dynamics shaped by cultural patriarchy.
- These patterns inform self-worth, nervous system safety, and lifelong attachment behaviors.
Confrontation Led To No Contact

- That rupture led Bethany to go no contact and reframe her identity outside family roles.
