alterboyx: kyraneko: “The axe forgets, but the tree remembers.” This is a huge thing ESPECIALLY with kids. To the parent, they lashed out when they were mad and forgot about it, expecting the kid to forget too. To the kid? It was a big moment that defined your relationship with your parents. Stuff my parents don’t remember doing or saying were things that to me spoke very, very loudly, that I was not safe to be open and honest with my parents. The axe forgets, but the tree remembers, indeed. -- source link
