Kudos to Leader @AndreaSCousins + Speaker @CarlHeastie for their tireless advocacy for #NYSchools + working families in budget discussions. Stay strong, we're with you in demanding full funding for all #NYSchools @GovKathyHochul, our children deserve investments not cuts!
Thank you @NYSenateDems & @NYSA_Majority for standing up for our communities in budget talks to date. Let's keep pushing to fully fund Foundation Aid and support an SED update to its formula. New York's future depends on it! #NYSchools #InvestInOurNY
We need action, not cuts @GovKathyHochul. Stand with New York's working families by fully funding Foundation Aid and allocating $1 million for SED formula updates. Our kids are counting on you! #NYSchools

Young NYers have made clear that their vision of community safety requires access to holistic support – not further criminalization. The @NYSenate & @NYSA_Majority budgets both include #RTA funding expansion. Let's push this to the final budget: bit.ly/yiyj25
#RaisetheAge does make a difference in community safety & the @NYSenate & @NYSA_Majority are both in favor of making the funding for programs more accessible. Use your voice to help get these investments into the final state budget: bit.ly/yiyj25 #CommunitySupport
We appreciate that both the @NYSenate & @NYSA_Majority support making youth justice initiatives equitable & accessible across the state. Let's get these youth investments into the final budget! Take action now: bit.ly/yiyj25 it takes just a few clicks! #youthjustice
One of life's most painful (and important) lessons is that not everyone wants to change. Including our parents. Even if they're in a bad situation and even if they're miserable. The familiar feels safe. And change feels overwhelming.

In codependent families, denial is shared. Any member who speaks the truth is labeled as "difficult." Here's Why:

@themartijndouw We are not. We're responsible for our own lives, our own well being, and our own homes. The only thing we can (somewhat) control.
@Theholisticpsyc You are not responsible for: - Being the family therapist - Saving/fixing your parents - Rescuing one parent from the other It's not worth it—and it's not your job.
We can love, respect, and honor our parents by accepting them where they're at. We can love, respect, and honor ourselves by knowing our limits and letting go of our desire to save them.
The greatest gift we can give our parents is to build healthy relationships, healthy homes, and healthy children. That's how we break the cycle.
The greatest gift we can give our parents is not to continue to parent them as we age. It's not to lecture them, to solve their problems, or to sacrifice our own needs as we betray ourselves.
One of life's most painful (and important) lessons is that not everyone wants to change. Including our parents. Even if they're in a bad situation and even if they're miserable. The familiar feels safe. And change feels overwhelming.
With time, resentment builds because the adult child feels helpless. No matter how much effort and energy they put in, their parent stays in the same cycle.
Usually, this dynamic has been going on since childhood. Where the adult child was the "responsible parent" beginning at a very young age.
This can be very overwhelming to watch. No one wants to see anyone they love suffer. And often these parents create a dynamic where their adult child is expected to rescue, fix, or cater to the situation.
Many of us have parents who are stuck in cycles that cause them issues. These can be issues in their marriage, financial issues, or any other issue that comes up over and over again.
Your can't save your parents. You can't change their habits or get them to see what they don't want to see. HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN DO:
You do not need shared delusion to be close to other people. You can get free. Retweet for awareness.
Trust that every time you tell the truth, you're healing. Trust that with every boundary you set, you're healing. Trust that everyone time you listen to yourself, you're healing.
In codependent families there is a theme of emotional negativity for a reason. Why? Because if you have no hope, self worth, or belief there's another way-- you'll remain the same. Codependent families rely on this to keep the family together.
To have a different narrative that your family members is the first step of breaking free from codependency. It shows you're developing more confidence. It shows that you have the courage to face and accept reality.
This person is usually the black sheep or labeled as the "difficult child." Because the rest of the family copes through denial, they're faced with extreme anger and rejection if they speak about the past in a way that goes against the family story.
This brings many people into healing. Where they start to look at their family stories and patterns in a different light. Where they see the family dysfunction and how it's manifested within themselves.
