Crying is perceived as a weakness in my home, however, not crying led me to all sorts of releases that were not at all healthy. I had to learn for myself that crying is okay, and I now know that. Crying isn't weak. It's perfectly okay. As it is perfectly okay to fall apart every so often, and release all that pain inside, for the time being.
