Cycle breaking is quiet… until it isn’t. It’s in the moments no one claps for— when you choose patience instead of punishment, apologize even though no one ever apologized to you, let your child feel instead of forcing them to shrink. It’s rewriting scripts you didn’t ask to inherit. It’s grieving while parenting. It’s healing in real time. And let’s be honest—it is uncomfortable, triggering, lonely.
And you’ll notice that “breaking cycles” doesn’t just change how you parent, it also changes how you show up in every relationship. The reason we do it is so our children won’t have to heal from what you’re willing to face. That’s the work.
•
If this is you, I see you. I’m right there with you, you’re not alone. Comment other ways you are a cycle breaking parent.

Codependency is a dysfunctional relationship in which one person ignores their own needs and well-being to fulfill the others. Codependents rely on the other for their self-worth, happiness, and sense of purpose in life. One or both rely on their loved one for fulfillment. Codependency is more than just being needy or needing the support of the other person from time to time. This can exist between lovers, siblings, parent-child, etc.
•
In South Asian households, codependent relationships are far too common. Parents lives revolve around their children, wives are self-sacrificing for their husbands, children ignore their own needs to tend to their parents needs.
•
Codependency is a learned behavior that can be traced back to our childhood and the relationship we had with our primary caretakers or parents. Usually the parent was either overly protective or under protective and the child’s emotional needs were unmet. As an adult this person is has low self-esteem, is a people pleaser, neglects their own needs and prioritizes others before themselves.
•
My parents had a codependent relationship with one another as well as with me. As I learned more about this dysfunctional attachment, I’ve recognized the patterns in my own personal relationships - friendships, romantic relationships, work relationships, etc. I was always willing to sacrifice myself for others. I felt like was just being nice but it wasn’t. It was me constantly putting others before myself for acceptance, love, approval, connection - everything my inner child craved. Once I realized how damaging this behavior was to myself, I began actively changing my behavior to build healthy relationships.
•
Do any of these sound familiar to you?

I used to think healing meant holding my mom accountable. Now as I get older, as a mom myself - I’m learning it also means understanding the world that shaped her.
•
My mother came to NYC as an immigrant with two little kids—5 and 7—trying to survive a life she didn’t necessarily choose. She was one of 6 sisters and the only one who was given permission by her father to study away from home for college, then to postpone marriage to pursue her masters degree in political science and then go onto begin a career. She agreed to an arranged marriage and then continued her career while raising children. I often wonder what my mom would have done if she had grown up in a different time period or had the opportunities or freedom of choice. Would she have gotten married? Chosen to be a mother? Would she have liked to travel the world? Pursue more education? Pursue her interests of writing and poetry?
She was thrust into marriage and motherhood without any healthy examples of parenting or love, no real understanding of who she was or what she wanted in life other than what was already planned for her, in a world that never made space for her feelings or asked her what she wanted out of life.
•
So she did what she knew. She loved through sacrifice. Through control. Through fear. Through survival.
And I grew up feeling it all—without always understanding it. This is me breaking cycles and holding compassion at the same time. This is me breaking cycles but also understanding that my mother broke cycles too. Because two things can be true: She might have made decisions that hurt me. And she was hurting too.
•
If you’re navigating that complicated love with your Desi mom… I see you. 🤎 The more I heal, the more I seek to understand her rather than to blame— the goal is to continue to heal, to name what wasn’t okay, and to choose something different moving forward.

Women aren’t born hating other women. Girls are taught at a young age to compete, compare, and shrink ourselves. This isn’t necessarily taught explicitly but young girls watch and internalize it in their upbringing. They watch and observe how people joke at the expense of women, how their fathers treat their mothers, how their brothers are treated differently than them, how people critique and comment on a woman’s body but not a mans, how the media depicts and reinforces stereotypes of men/women, how women are supposed to be insecure about their appearance/aging/weight and how society as a whole has normalized misogyny.
•
Misogyny doesn’t only survive through men — it survives when women are conditioned to police, judge, and blame each other instead of questioning the system.
•
Internalized misogyny can look like: • calling women “too emotional” • competing for male validation • judging women’s clothes or sexuality • minimizing our own intelligence • blaming women for men’s behavior
•
And we all have some internalized misogyny! It’s unavoidable given our world but it’s our job to become self aware and unlearn. The truth is: ✨ Another woman’s power does not take away from yours. ✨ Solidarity is more powerful than competition. ✨ When women support women, the system that benefits from our division starts to crack.
•
Unlearning this takes awareness, compassion, and honesty with ourselves.
•
Ask yourself today: Where have I been taught to see other women as competition instead of community?
•
Save this post if you’re committed to unlearning internalized misogyny.

Strict household have rules that controlled and limited our choices, opportunities, growth. We did not have permission to make mistakes, and always prioritized others needs/emotions over our own. We feared making mistakes and getting in trouble. We had to be perfect. Experiences like hanging out with friends, developing social skills, participating in age appropriate school events, learning opportunities weren’t allowed. We were taught to take on responsibility but not responsible enough to make our own decision or act independently. Even in adulthood these follow us.
•
If you grew up in a strict household, you probably developed habits you didn’t even realize. Walking quietly, listening for footsteps, explaining everything you do, and feeling nervous when someone calls your name. Even as an adult, sometimes it still feels like you’re about to get in trouble for just existing.

Did you grow up in a strict household? What would you add?

Growing up as one of 3 sisters and now raising two daughters, I often hear how difficult it is to raise daughters and how easy raising boys is. The reality is, neither are easy but we have higher expectations of our girls than we do for our boys. The way we raise boys creates the men we see in adulthood - the same men who so many women have to heal from.
•
People who say “Boys are easier” just mean that they don’t raise them emotionally. They excuse the anger. They ignore the shutdown. They call emotional immaturity “just how boys are.” They don’t teach them to be men, they teach them how not to be women. They don’t develop their emotional intelligence. They tell them “boys don’t cry” and that showing vulnerability is not masculine. They reward toughness and shame sensitivity. They neglect their emotional needs entirely.
•
And then 20 years later, you release egotistical, aggressive, misogynistic, abusive “men” into society wreaking havoc and toxic masculinity. Women are then expected to translate his feelings, regulate his moods, teach him how to communicate, carry the emotional weight of the relationship all while the man acts like he is the center of the universe.
•
That’s not easier. That’s deferred emotional labor. Boys are easier, easier for who?

There are so many new faces on here! I wanted to introduce myself & welcome you to this space 👋 Hi, my name is Ninad. I’m a Bengali-American Mom of two little girls, raising an interracial/interfaith family in NYC. I am Muslim & my husband was raised Jewish. Professionally, I am a HS Biology teacher. Three years ago, my Baba (dad) passed away in a traumatic way after his battle with cancer. I was left 8+ months pregnant, parenting my 1.5 year old, grieving his loss & also unexpectedly faced with tons of unaddressed trauma. It got worse once I gave birth, postpartum hit hard and 2 months later the pandemic shut the world down. All of that happening simultaneously forced me to seek professional help for my mental health for the first time in my life. I also discovered journaling and began writing as a way to express myself, my thoughts and emotions. This bloomed into creating this account as a way of expressing everything I was experiencing. I began turning my journal entries into digital art to express myself, what I was learning, and ultimately spark conversations, specifically amongst South Asian & black/brown communities. I discovered there was a community of cycle breakers who resonated with my lived experiences and that we weren’t alone. And discovering that was honestly life changing.
•
Becoming a mom while simultaneously losing a parent, truly made me reflect on my own childhood, traumas, behavior patterns, coping strategies, self-worth and existence in ways I don’t think I would have otherwise thought to do. My healing journey goes beyond myself because it impacts every life I touch, my children’s lives, every life they touch and so on. That ripple effect that my childhood trauma can have is just as strong as the ripple effect of my own healing. So my mission is to help inspire you to do the same - reflect, observe, think, discuss, ask questions, increase self-awareness, look inward, learn, unlearn, understand and ultimately love your inner child.
•
I’d love to know a little bit about you!
