Thank you for this. I grew up with a father that told me to suck it up and quit being so emotional. He wanted a tough daughter. And while I am thankful that he created a strong foundation for me, my lack of showing emotions and always trying to be strong, has certainly bubbled up and boiled over a few times in my life. These days I respect my feelings and accept that I can also not be strong sometimes. It’s a life long learning curve I think!
