The First Step is Self-Love.

Teach your daughter that coming back home after a failed marriage is always better than coming back in a coffin.

Show the women you love that saying goodbye is not a failure. On the contrary, ending a relationship can be the beginning of a new life, the liberation from a vicious cycle, and a victory for the heart. Teach them that cutting off a toxic emotional bond is an act of courage and, above all, an act of self-love.

Tell your daughters, sisters, aunts, nieces, and friends that their lives are worth far more than any destructive relationship. Remind them that the light of their soul can never be extinguished, that standing up for their dignity is never a loss, and that the most beautiful thing about lifting their head is seeing the possibilities that were once hidden.

Explain that sometimes, only when we move can we hear the sound of the chains that once held us back. That freedom is a right, not a privilege, and that they will always have a safe place to return to.

Tell them that no matter the time, the place, or the situation, your doors will always be open. That your arms will always be available whenever they need them and that distance will never be an obstacle. Remind them that you will always be there—not to judge or blame them, but to understand, listen, support, and love them unconditionally.

Tell them that when they return home, they will come back as warriors—brave, dignified, unbreakable, and strong.

That a woman who chooses to reclaim her confidence, strength, and self-worth deserves applause and respect because she becomes an inspiration for those who are still struggling to take control of their minds, bodies, and lives.

Talk to your daughter about the importance of self-love. Teach her that inner peace is non-negotiable, that principles and values are not for sale, and that she must never ignore the first signs of violence. Explain that no one has the right to clip her wings or take away her dreams—because she is worth far more than any man.

Tell your daughter that she has her own voice, that she can make her own choices, that she has a name, an identity, and a family that will never turn its back on her. That she has a home where she will always be welcome.

Teach your daughter that the first step to a fulfilling life is self-love.
