When Someone You Trusted Goes Quiet

You’re not too much. They were just not enough.

Sometimes, the hard part isn’t what someone says.

It’s what they don’t say.

It’s not the “no.” It’s the lack of care behind it.

It’s watching someone you thought was in your corner quietly step back—without explanation, without honesty, without kindness.

At Mom Bomb, we talk a lot about energy. And one of the hardest things to learn is this:

When people don’t match your energy, that’s not your fault.

That’s not a reason to dim your light or become guarded.
It’s just clarity.

So if you’re feeling the sting of a letdown right now, know this:

• You were not wrong to hope.
• You were not “too kind.”
• You didn’t get it wrong—you just got the truth.

Let it refine you.
Let it focus you.

And most of all—let it remind you that your energy is yours. Precious. Whole. Still good.

We don’t change who we are just because someone didn’t know how to show up.

We keep going. Stronger, clearer, softer where it matters.
